Biodiversity Conservation in Latin America and the Caribbean
Author: Allen BlackmanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317906861
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region is exceptionally biodiverse. It contains about half of the world’s remaining tropical forests, nearly one-fifth of its coastal habitats, and some of its most productive agricultural and marine areas. But agriculture, fishing and other human activities linked to rapid population and economic growth increasingly threaten that biodiversity. Moreover, poverty, weak regulatory capacity, and limited political will hamper conservation. Given this dilemma, it is critically important to design conservation strategies on the basis of the best available information about both biodiversity and the track records of the various policies that have been used to protect it. This rigorously researched book has three key aims. It describes the status of biodiversity in LAC, the main threats to this biodiversity, and the drivers of these threats. It identifies the main policies being used to conserve biodiversity and assesses their effectiveness and potential for further implementation. It proposes five specific lines of practical action for conserving LAC biodiversity, based on: green agriculture; strengthening terrestrial protected areas and co-management; improving environmental governance; strengthening coastal and marine resource management; and improving biodiversity data and policy evaluation.
Land governance in Latin America and the Caribbean

Book Description
The effects of the crisis generated by the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve and hit our societies hard. In the case of LAC, land tenure is at the heart of its development; this issue like no other has caused wars, displacement, social conflicts, corruption, hunger and poverty. In particular, extreme inequality in access to and control of land is one of the great unsolved problems in LAC; it is at the same time the cause and consequence of highly polarized social structures that have fed and continue to feed the political crises that are currently suffering greatly in their countries. With public policies that continue to ignore this structural challenge, it will not be possible to reduce the economic and social inequality that the pandemic has only come to reveal and exacerbate with greater brutality, and neither will it be possible to achieve the recovery with transformation echoed by speeches today from various sectors.
