Greatest Threats to this Continent

South America holds the largest rainforests on the planet and is under constant threat from deforestation. Coupled with an extreme level of over-fishing and pollution, it’s straining daily to continuously adapt to its surroundings. South America is a massive area of land surrounded by some of the most impressive waters in the world with climates spanning from Arctic conditions down south to lush rainforests in the north.

Strive to avoid fish species from this region, like Chilean Sea Bass, unless you live nearby. Global demand for fish in this region lead to overfishing and high pollution levels to transport around the world.
