In a welcome contrast to most of the news about the destruction of tropical rainforests, William Allen tells the story of the successful re-forestation of some 463 square miles of land and 290 miles of marine area in northwest Costa Rica: the Guanacaste Conservation Area. A team of both Costa Rican and American scientists came together to accomplish this feat, documented in vivid, compelling prose.
