Cool. I knew of some dudes out of MS my dad used to hang out with that were supposedly logging down there somewhere.

They probably did teak and mahogany tree farms. I do primary rainforest old growth (but only dead tress). The CR government is super strict on removing any trees (which is great). If a tree falls across one of my roads, I can cut it to move out of the way, but a permit to harvest it would take over 6 months and involve my forestal engineer, their forestal engineers and the University of Costa Rica.

Its really a great thing, but they can get pretty extreme. If a tree is about to fall on your house, you have about a 20 percent chance of getting a permit to remove it. They want it to fall first. People are always cutting them down for profit, and they were never in danger of said trees actually falling on their houses. That really sucks for the honest ones.

The strangest thing is, I can cut any live fruit tree down without a permit. Why in the hell would I want to cut a fruit tree down, that helps the local wildlife survive?
