I highly recommend checking out Costa Rica. It's frequently listed as one of the happiest countries in the world and is the only one that rates in Central America. We lived there for 3 years and it's not perfect but you can learn a lot about good government and environmental protection and restoration from them.

We spent a month traveling around Costa Rica for that reason, but we weren't as impressed. Do you have any resources on why their governance would be considered good? Or better than other governance? And we weren't a fan at how much of their environmental protection was actually privatized. Meaning independent people were buying up tracts of beautiful land and then selling it back to us as a fee to hike on it. But this is highly anecdotal and you probably know much more about it than I do. I haven't done a lot of research here!
