Human Benefits

The importance of the Cloud Forest is the benefits that humans receive from it. Taking the minerals and timber from the forest are just one of the many reasons why people occupy the forest. As mentioned earlier, tourism is a huge factor for why people come to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, when people benefit from the forest it turns to be a negative for the cloud forest. Subsistence farming, cattle ranching, mining, oil and drilling are reasons for people to use the forest. Although these are great benefits we still need to find a balance of using and renewing so that we do not complete exhaust these resources.
