china is to begin on the canal through nicaragua in nov/dec
in doing so they will clear 400,000 hectares of different types of land
forest
wetlands
etc.

that means a lot of tropical hardwood will be coming available

the company building the canal has claimed the timber but i wonder if it
will all go back to china first or will they ship all over from there

When the plans were made, China counted on getting and processing all
of the wood. China NEVER sells raw materials when there is either a
shortage of them, or a chance to make more money by processing them.

With the upset in the Chinese econmy - anything is possible.

they have claimed all the timber and anything remaining will be left
for the people for firewood

from what you say it sounds like it will go back to china and will probably
show up here as cheap products

That's what they want. One of my sisters and her husband retired there
recently.

One thing about Costa Rica, their border is closed and you must have a
provable source of income to move there, no exceptions.

Ditto many countries (provable income). The US is an exception of course.
To both.

It is already hooked to the Caribbean via Rio San Juan. That's why Lake
Nicaragua has sharks. Tarpon and sawfish too, probably others.
