As the only Latin American country in which forestry is a principal economic activity, Honduras is especially vulnerable to deforestation and related forms of environmental degradation. This report identifies threats to the country's forest resource base, as well as environmental problems in the areas of agriculture, watershed management, marine resources, wildlife, and water and sanitation. Discussed also are a core set of cultural, political, and constraints to solving these problems. Depletion of forest resources (80,000 ha are lost each year) is attributed to uncontrolled fires and wasteful logging practices. Problems related to agriculture are identified as: (1) deforestation due to shifting cultivation, (2) declining land productivity resulting from population pressures, and (3) heavy pesticide use. Improper watershed management has led to flooding and water deficiency, while inadequate marine resource management has resulted in overfishing and destruction of estuaries and coral reefs. Wildlife are threatened by habitat destruction, overexploitation, and urban-industrial expansion. Water supplies are contaminated by industrial, mining, and agricultural pollution leading t

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.

Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province, district; squares are facilities.
