Central America and its Biodiversity is world famous. However, its status and conservation is very worrying, just like many features in the Anthropocene these days. Using over 12 years for field school-based field research in the region -land, marine and atmosphere - this podcast is based, in part, on Bocklett (1998) and Huettmann (2015) elaborating on issues of conservation governance relevance, and many of them otherwise widely overlooked but highly applicable worldwide.
