Abstract

The most important change in land use in Central America in the last 40 years has been the widespread conversion of forest to pasture. Between 1950 and 1990, the area in forest in the region fell from 29 million hectares to 17 million, and the majority of cleared lands became pastures (Utting, 1992).
