Costa Rica court orders coffee grower to restore forest in Tarrazú

A Costa Rican court ordered a suspect to remove a coffee plantation in San Marcos de Tarrazú to restore affected forest, following warnings from the Environmental Prosecutor's Office since 2021 about significant land-use change at the expense of forest. The ruling enforces environmental restoration but details on the plantation size and timeline remain unclear. This marks a notable judicial action against deforestation in a key coffee-growing region.
