Latin America and the Caribbean
The Latin America and Caribbean region is home to some of the world’s most significant bodies of water, including the Amazon River, the longest river system in the world, and the Caribbean Sea, which supports unique marine ecosystems. These water bodies face increasing threats from pollution, overfishing, and the impacts of climate change, which jeopardize both biodiversity and local communities that depend on them.
