One obstacle to wildland garden survival is that specific goods and services, such as biodiversity prospecting, lack development protocols that automatically shunt the profits back to the source. Other obstacles are that environmental services contracts have the unappealing trait of asking for the payment of environmental credit card bills and implying delegation of centralized governmental authority to decentralized social structures.

About $3.75 million of the $4.75 million is spent annually on systematically capturing ever more natural history, taxonomic security, trappers' rules, microgeographic locations, and interaction knowledge about those species and depositing that information in the Species Home Pages for those species. Gradually, the wildland garden moves into "more known" status, with its information creating yet more synergy with the same process in other wildland gardens/green freezers.

In either path to a wildland garden, the institution is confronted with an angry social force that potentially may be appeased by biodiversity and ecosystem development of the wildland site. Development means budgets, salaries, and training; it means setting up an industry, a green freezer based on skilled labor, a sort of biological Silicon Valley and Library of Congress rolled up into one.

The INMAN will pay to the MCL the sum of three dollars, the monetary unit of the United States of America, per hectare, per year, for an annual total of nine thousand dollars. The INMAN has remitted this sum for the period covering 11 March 1998 to 10 March 1999.

The parties, aware that the surface right cannot be registered over the MCL's property because even that property itself is not registered, promise at this moment to effect the titling of the land in the name of the MCL, in such a way that the registration of the surface right is given together with the registration of the title for the property in question. Due to the surface right being treated as an atypical right in real Costa Rican law, in the case the Registrar or courts were to impose an obstacle to the registration of the surface right, the parties promise to formalize another type of contract, starting with a usufruct contract, that may assure the real rights of use for INMAN over the land where the structure for the dam and water intake of the hydro-electric project is located, until completing the same aforementioned 99 years for the surface right and under the same conditions or that the contract may not be more onerous for the INMAN.
