Description
Due to Guatemala’s natural susceptibility to extreme weather events and land use change, the people and ecosystems of this country are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This poster will examine Sustainable Development Goals related to land use changes, industry, innovation, infrastructure, consumption and production, and climate action through the lens of our ecological indicator, the endangered Yucatán black howler monkey. We aim to shed light on the drivers and impacts of black howler monkeys as they relate to Guatemala's Nationally Determined Contributions.
