fairplanet.org — From local communities and small NGOs to large collaborative projects, millions of people are committed to saving the country's six biomes: the Amazon and Atlantic Forests, Pantanal, Cerrado, Caatinga and Pampas, all of which are suffering from systematic destruction driven by deforestation and fires, among other threats.

fairplanet.org — The challenges associated with fisheries are numerous: from the large-scale fishing industry and the often untraceable artisanal fishing enterprises (which can be carried out at almost any beach by numerous workers and often lack proper regulation or governmental supervision) to illegal vessels which navigate the seas with no surveillance and flout national rules, even within protected areas. The overarching question posed by this dossier is: can we actually achieve sustainable levels and methods of fishing while providing food for us all? Come on a journey through Latin America’s coasts. Follow the stories from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico, reflecting different voices, cultures and realities. Get a glimpse into what Latin America faces when it comes to artisanal and industrial fisheries - the advances in protections and the hidden threats that evade surveillance.
