Welcome to the Latin America and the Caribbean Collection! This collection focuses on environmental and social issues in a diverse political, cultural, and environmental framework. As one of the highest biodiversity hotspots of the world, this collection attempts to address this complexity through three main geographic regions (Mexico and Central America, the Caribbean, and South America) by profiling each country and ecosystem. This collection is a work in progress, so please visit often to learn more about what is being done in the LAC.
