1) Deforestation is a big problem in Nicaragua, about 21% of the rain forest has been logged in 15 years. Do to this problem the government has made it illegal to do any logging in the forest. However there have been some illegal logging going is the law was established.
2) So some of the environmental impacts of this is that large amounts of the forest is disappearing, animals are losing places to live and grow to d all of the logging that goes on. Some of the economic impacts of this are that the government has to pay for the destruction of the forest from foreign countries taking the natural resources, as a result. Some of the social impact of this problem is that the population relies on the forest for food, fuelwood to help them survive and a few other things.
3) I think that it has a greater impact in Nicaragua because people rely on the for fuel wood and and food in need to survive and live. Also impacts there lives more that in Canada even though forests are very important here and in Nicaragua.
