South America
A region of great wealth in landscapes, biodiversity and culture, we develop projects and initiatives aligned with the five areas of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Global Programme.
South America is an extremely important continent for several reasons: high biodiversity, broad endemism and great wealth in cultural terms, as well as its enormous economic potential.
The continent faces a great diversity of challenges and environmental degradation processes of great magnitude on which the Regional Office concentrates its efforts, with the support of its Members and strategic partners.
40%
of the planet's biodiversity, 25% of its forests and 26% of its freshwater resources,聽is concentrated in South America.
