Spanning Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, where nature competes with expanding agriculture, ranching, fishing, urban growth, and tourism.

The Colombian Orinoquia spans 35 million hectares—larger than New Mexico—and covers 35% of the Orinoco River basin, forming a critical ecological bridge between the Andes and the Amazon.

From the Andean headwaters to Brazil’s lowland rainforests, the Amazon functions as a single interconnected system. What happens upstream determines what is possible downstream.

This current, flowing along the coasts of Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, generates roughly 15% of the world’s seafood, making it one of the planet’s most productive marine systems.

The most biodiverse savanna on Earth and one of Brazil’s most strategically important biomes. This hydrological engine sustains ecosystems, agriculture, and energy production nationwide.

This forest covered 1.3 million km2 (almost 2.5 time the size of France) along Brazil’s coast, but centuries of farming, urbanization, and ranching have reduced it to only 12% of its original extent.

Stretching across Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil, this is one of the planet’s last great living laboratories where food production, biodiversity, and climate stability still collide at scale.

One of earth's last large pristine wild environments. However, decades of unsustainable grazing—especially sheep—have led to vegetation loss, soil erosion, and advancing desertification.
