A full analysis was performed for the period 2009-2013 taking into account the different views of experts on the subject, managing to have a critical and reflexive eye. Through statistical sustain the development of our research. It was found that the main reason that causes the destruction of the RBB is the lack of productive consciousness, ignoring protection laws established by the authorities, adding the low incidence of the institutions responsible for ensuring compliance with these. It is noteworthy that Bosawás is not just a problem in the region but should be of national interest. It is essential to know that a strategy is needed to develop a forest economy that recognizes the economic value of forest conservation. Without economic alternatives will be very difficult to save Bosawás. Our country needs to change the mistaken perception that economic growth depends solely on the exploitation of our natural resources.
