NAIROBI, May 24 (BERNAMA- NNN-PRENSA LATINA)--Latin America and the Caribbean is the region with the greatest biological diversity on the planet, holding 60 to 70 percent of all known life on Earth, according to a report issued by UN Environment Programme (UNEP) today. The document entitled 'The State of Biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean', is a mid-term evaluation of the region's progress in the implementation of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, to care and conserve the world's flora and fauna. Presented at the second session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-2), the report explains that the region shows progress in 13 of the 20 Aichi Targets, while it shows no progress in six of them. The report highlights that there are many examples of progress and innovation in the field of biodiversity conservation in the region. However, the region also experiences high rates of urbanization, along with industrial and agricultural development, which represent huge challenges to achieve the conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources.
