The shrinkage in distribution of closed canopy forest in Costa Rica from 1940 to the present. Only the volcano slopes within the area of Guanacaste National Park (northwestern Costa Rica) contained enough pristine forest to be recorded in this map in 1983 (Rodas 1985). Note that the relative rate and thoroughness of forest removal has been substantially greater in the dry western habitats than in the mountainous rainforest habitats.
