Description
CS study and practice in Iberoamerica and the Caribbean is widespread and diverse. We identified 30+ search terms that embody CS in the region. A search in SPA/POR/ENG bibliographical databases resulted in 200,000+ publications, mostly concentrated in 7 countries. Out of 685 documented CS experiences in 9 countries, 81% focus on biodiversity, ecology and environment, and natural resource management; 73% are local or subnational. Further research is urgent to include other countries and to understand diverse goals driving CS in the region: e.g., informing decisions to improve livelihoods and conserve; educating youth for social change; valuing different forms of knowledge.
