They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, I have to agree. At left, a graphic from the 2006 United Nations Human Development report, presented in Managua last Tuesday at the Central Bank. The pictures clearly demonstrate how Nicaragua is losing an alarming amount of its natural forestation every year (to the tune of 70,000 hectares annually).
The focus of the report was on the world water crisis, and the presentation highlighted its particular manifestations here in Nicaragua where issues abound--water sources, water quality, distribution systems, and pricing fairness, among others.
