Costa Rica · 100 ha

Paquera, Puntarenas

Intact · Conserve

Little to repair. Most of the work is protection.

96of 100range 92 to 100 · 50% sure

Condition of the land

The score, 0 to 100. 100 is land of its kind that people have left alone.

487896

96 reads intact (96 and above). The range, 92 to 100, is where its two measures disagree; 50% of it stays intact. A site visit settles it.

This land is close to how land of its kind looks when people leave it alone. The work here is keeping it that way.

Read from two measures

Unchanged93

How little people have changed it, from roads and buildings to fields and lights.

Unconverted100

How much of it is not fields, buildings, or missing the forest it would carry.

The score sits between the two.

Trees now 99%. Left alone, about 53%.

Screened for Puntarenas, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, not for this land: a planning prompt. A site study settles the land itself.

StrengthRainfall is high, and it falls in one season. 2,560 mm of rain per year (CHIRPS, 2004 to 2024).
RiskA meaningful share of this land's tree cover has been cleared since 2000. About 7.7% of the parcel lost tree cover since 2000, most recently in 2024.
UnknownMost of the parcel reads as tree cover. 99% of the parcel reads as tree cover (satellite land-cover mapping).
First moveBuild a water budget sized to the projected dry spell, not the annual average.
