There is a small farming community in Coopabuena, Costa Rica that was hit by a major cooperative bankruptcy, sending them into downward spiral into poverty. Desperate members of what remains of the community are cutting down the remaining trees on their farms, in an area that once had the highest biodiversity on the planet. These farmers have sold their tropical rainforest jungles to loggers and are now left with barren pastures being trampled and eroded away by cattle so they can be sold to make some quick money.
