Trends in land use and ecosystem services in Latin America

Abstract:

Latin America and the Caribbean region (LAC) is currently facing a daunting challenge: producing food, fibre, and fuel to satisfy an increasing internal and international demand and at the same time preserve its outstanding natural capital and related ecosystem services (ES) (Martinelli, 2012). Compared to other regions, LAC has a major advantage to achieve this double goal due to its rich natural endowment in terms of land, water and its low population density.
