Las autoridades de Costa Rica han llamado la atenci\u00f3n sobre el problema de la tala ilegal en el pa\u00eds, lo que resalta el importante papel del pa\u00eds en el altamente rentable comercio ilegal mundial de madera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seg\u00fan Luis Mart\u00ednez, coordinador de la Fiscal\u00eda Adjunta Agrario Ambiental, el poder pol\u00edtico y el inter\u00e9s econ\u00f3mico de los desarrolladores que buscan despejar los bosques, a menudo los lleva a \u201cbuscar la forma\u201d, en torno a las estrictas regulaciones, a trav\u00e9s de documentos falsos y funcionarios corruptos, inform\u00f3 La Naci\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En 2012, el Sistema Nacional de \u00c1reas de Conservaci\u00f3n (Sinac) recibi\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 2.200 denuncias sobre tala ilegal, de las cuales 610 fueron procesadas ??por los tribunales. Durante ese tiempo, la Secci\u00f3n de Estad\u00edstica del Poder Judicial inform\u00f3 que 1.100 denuncias fueron reportadas ante el Ministerio P\u00fablico, de las cuales s\u00f3lo 26 resultaron en condenas, se\u00f1al\u00f3 La Naci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seg\u00fan Gustavo Mata, subdirector del Organismo de Investigaci\u00f3n Judicial (OIJ), la tala es llevada a cabo por peque\u00f1os grupos que tienen \u201c(\u2026) una capacidad de movimiento en la monta\u00f1a que no tienen las autoridades\u201d. Mata dijo que estos grupos dependen de una red de aserraderos y transportadores que procesan esta madera que luego alimenta el mercado legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La tala ilegal contin\u00faa en Costa Rica en el contexto de exitosas pol\u00edticas gubernamentales para reforestar el pa\u00eds, las cuales han provocado la cobertura forestal del pa\u00eds en m\u00e1s del doble desde su m\u00ednimo hist\u00f3rico en 1990, seg\u00fan cifras del Ministerio de Ambiente y Energ\u00eda.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n El comercio ilegal mundial de madera tiene un valor estimado anual <\/a>de entre US$30 mil millones y US$100 mil millones, y Latinoam\u00e9rica es uno de sus centros mundiales. Una operaci\u00f3n de la Comunidad Internacional de Polic\u00eda (Interpol) contra la tala ilegal en la regi\u00f3n condujo a la incautaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s de un mill\u00f3n de madera ilegal<\/a> en los primeros siete meses de 2013, la mayor\u00eda de \u00e9sta procedente de Costa Rica y Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Como se ve en Costa Rica \u2013uno de los pa\u00edses menos contaminados por la corrupci\u00f3n en la regi\u00f3n<\/a>\u2013 la combinaci\u00f3n de abundantes bosques y corrupci\u00f3n oficial facilita el comercio ilegal, con un informe publicado en 2010<\/a> destacando c\u00f3mo los bajos salarios y la falta de recursos corrompen a muchos reguladores forestales en la naci\u00f3n centroamericana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adem\u00e1s de ser una fuente importante de madera ilegal, Costa Rica tambi\u00e9n es centro de otras actividades ilegales que aprovechan su entorno natural, incluyendo el tr\u00e1fico de animales<\/a>, y el aleteo de tiburones<\/a>, el cual fue prohibido oficialmente en 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Las autoridades de Costa Rica han llamado la atenci\u00f3n sobre el problema de la tala ilegal en el pa\u00eds, lo que
