Evaluate the drafted changes
The edits to this article are very well written although seem to provide a biased outlook on the deforestation of Central America. This can be seen primarily in the “efforts to reverse effects” section. There is no clear answer for how to properly deal with deforestation but suggesting political campaigns without identifying and accounting for all party members can be perceived as a bias. Rather than suggesting ideas for what needs to change, discuss what is currently being done to retentate the area. Additionally, the majority of this paragraph is uncited and unclear if these are your ideas or ideas from scientific literature. Many other facts in this edited portion of the article appear to be uncited as well. Another issue seen is in the global impact section. This section provides a very good understanding of how the global drug trade and deforestation are connected but it is not the only global effect of major deforestation. Possibly add additional information on other impacts. The Environmental Legacy of Modern Tropical Deforestation Witten by Isabel M.D. Rosa provides an excellent understanding of global environmental impacts caused by deforestation. In the history section, United States forestry history is mentioned. I do not find it a necessary piece of information although can be compared to the amount of deforestation in Central America. If a comparison is made having the same units of measurement is important. Make sure to use either hectares or acres. Finally, starting a thread on the talk page could be helpful to check if there are any other people currently editing this article and not edit the same section of text. Overall the article has a natural flow is very well organized and should fit into the article nicely.
