Environ Challenges LatAmerica

Catalog description

Latin America is one of the regions with the highest biodiversity on the planet, and this condition has been essential for its economic development. From the colonial era to the present, Latin America has depended on exploiting its natural resources. However, the use of these has not always been reflected in the well-being of the human and non-human communities in the region. This course aims to introduce students to the environmental characteristics of Latin America, the problems the region faces, and the different proposals that communities have made to defend and preserve the environment.
