I have high hopes that the new President, Xiomara Castro, elected a year ago is aware of the problems and will begin to turn them around.

I really doubt that a wannabe authoritarian populist will get anything meaningful done if the other Central American countries with one of those are anything to go by.

You have too much hopes, that lady isn't doing shit for the country, just making her family rich. Shame that the first woman president turned out to be such incompetent.

Well, yeah. First lines of the linked article:

>Honduras lost 10% of its forests between 2010 and 2021, denounced Friday President Xiomara Castro, while inaugurating an environmental protection program. > >“The total loss of forests during these last years of the dictatorship, from 2010 to 2021, was 696,562 hectares, representing 10% of our forests,” said the president, referring to the governments of Porfirio Lobo (2010-2014) and Juan Orlando Hernández (2014-2018 and 2018-2022).

The article is written rather poorly, though.
