Human Impact on biodiversity - Latin America

Year: 2006
From collection: GLOBIO GEO-3
Author:
Torstein Olsen and Einar Lieng, Statens Kartverk (for UNEP/GRID-Arendal)
Description:
Latin America has vast tracts of sparsely populated areas of high biodiversity, in the Amazon and the Andes for instance. The GLOBIO analysis shows that these areas have seen little human impact, while the coasts and the plains have disturbed and fragmented habitats, particularily for large mammals.
