Abstract:
Global Biodiversity Outlook-4, the mid-term review of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020,
provided a global assessment of progress towards the attainment of the Plan’s global biodiversity goals
and associated Aichi Biodiversity Targets, but contained limited regional information. This report builds
on and complements the global GBO-4 assessment. It is the second edition of the State of Biodiversity in
the Latin America and the Caribbean report and serves as a near mid-term review of progress towards the
Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 for the Latin America and the Caribbean region.
