The Costa Rican logs are trucked half way across the country to centralized sawmills, which emphasizes that the income stream from the forest goes entirely into the centralized society, a society that views the forest as simply a resource to be turned into cash as soon as possible, rather than viewing the forest as a process that can continually yield a lower income stream into the indefinite future, both for the centralized society and the residents in the vicinity of the forest.
