G. Castro and I. Locker, with V. Russel, L. Cornwell and E. Fajer A Biodiversity Support Program Publication Biological diversity plays a critical role in maintaining the ecological processes upon which people, ecosystems and economies depend. The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region is widely accepted as a repository of some of the world's richest biodiversity, containing 40% of Earth's plant and animal species and probably the highest floristic diversity in the world. Unfortunately, the region's biodiversity continues to face significant and growing threats. The study, collaboration of the U.S. agency for International Development (USAID), the World Bank and the Biodiversity Support Program (BSP), was undertaken to determine the extent of biodiversity conservation funding in the region. 2000 / 80 pages |
