Abstract
All countries across Latin America and the Caribbean share the essential priority to improve wellbeing and incomes of urban and rural communities. National economic growth has been one of the main strategies for achieving this general improvement in basic services and living conditions, but this can carry risks for environmental sustainability and social equity.
In this context of equitable economic development, the efficient and sustainable use of biodiversity is particularly important for this region because, in practically all countries within it, a significant portion of economic activity and formal and informal employment have traditionally been and continue to be dependent on biodiversity.
The following report comprises three overall sections. First, economic benefits of biodiversity and their associated indicators are defined and described for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Second, key socioeconomic trends and challenges are highlighted in the context of ensuring the viability of natural resource-based sectors. Third, based on historical and current evidence, possible strategies for economic development based on environmental sustainability are presented and discussed.
