In 2025, approximately 23 million people lived in the São Paulo metropolitan area, making it the biggest in Latin America and the Caribbean and the sixth most populated in the world. The homonymous state of São Paulo was also the most populous federal entity in the country. The second place for the region was Mexico City with 22.75 million inhabitants. Brazil's cities Brazil is home to two large metropolises, only counting the population within the city limits, São Paulo had approximately 11.45 million inhabitants, and Rio de Janeiro around 6.21 million inhabitants. It also contains a number of smaller, but well known cities such as Brasília, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and many others, which report between 2 and 3 million inhabitants each. As a result, the country's population is primarily urban, with nearly 88 percent of inhabitants living in cities. Mexico City Mexico City's metropolitan area ranks sevenths in the ranking of most populated cities in the world. Founded over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in 1521 after the Spanish conquest as the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, the city still stands as one of the most important in Latin America. Nevertheless, the preeminent economic, political, and cultural position of Mexico City has not prevented the metropolis from suffering the problems affecting the rest of the country, namely, inequality and violence. Only in 2023, the city registered a crime incidence of 52,723 reported cases for every 100,000 inhabitants and around 24 percent of the population lived under the poverty line.

As of 2023, the top five most densely populated cities in Latin America and the Caribbean were in Colombia. The capital, Bogotá, ranked first with over ****** inhabitants per square kilometer.

Based on land area, Brazil is the largest country in Latin America by far, with a total area of over 8.5 million square kilometers. Argentina follows with almost 2.8 million square kilometers. Cuba, whose surface area extends over almost 111,000 square kilometers, is the Caribbean country with the largest territory.

Brazil: a country with a lot to offer

Brazil's borders reach nearly half of the South American subcontinent, making it the fifth-largest country in the world and the third-largest country in the Western Hemisphere. Along with its landmass, Brazil also boasts the largest population and economy in the region. Although Brasília is the capital, the most significant portion of the country's population is concentrated along its coastline in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

South America: a region of extreme geographic variation

With the Andes mountain range in the West, the Amazon Rainforest in the East, the Equator in the North, and Cape Horn as the Southern-most continental tip, South America has some of the most diverse climatic and ecological terrains in the world. At its core, its biodiversity can largely be attributed to the Amazon, the world's largest tropical rainforest, and the Amazon river, the world's largest river. However, with this incredible wealth of ecology also comes great responsibility. In the past decade, roughly 80,000 square kilometers of the Brazilian Amazon were destroyed. And, as of late 2019, there were at least 1,000 threatened species in Brazil alone.

Dataset and full R script used in the data analysis of the paper "Searching for the lost treasure: An urban shelter for overlooked pollinators in one of the most urbanised cities of southern South America".

Summary:

Insect pollinators are essential and their conservation should be a priority for both ecological and agricultural reasons, especially in the remaining green spaces within highly urbanised cities. We studied the diversity of flower visitors associated with a remnant of native vegetation in the city of Cordoba (Argentina), one of the largest cities in South America. We recorded 198 insect species from six orders (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Thysanoptera and Hemiptera) interacting as potential pollinators with the flowers of 94 plant species. We identified the pollinators to the lowest possible taxonomic level and confirmed the identifications through a collaborative project using a non-profit biodiversity social network (iNaturalist 2024). The plant-pollinator interaction network was significantly modular, with 178 of the 198 pollinators playing a peripheral role. We focused our study on these peripheral pollinators, which are often neglected in ecological studies. We conducted a bibliographic search to understand the requirements of these peripheral pollinators, which are often neglected in ecological studies. We categorised their needs to complete their life cycle and persist over time in three broad categories: flowers to feed on, places to reproduce and additional resources.

The concentration of people living in small areas has increased in the last decade, with more than half of the world's population living in cities. This is particularly true for Latin America, a region with no particular high contribution to the world total population, but hosts several large cities. The increase in urbanization causes several threats to wildlife that face the loss of their habitat and novel environmental pressures. As the number of wildlife entering cities seems to have increased in the last year, we characterize the temporal and geographical events of a widely distributed carnivore, the puma, Puma concolor. We performed an exhaustive search for media news regarding the sighting, capture, and/or killing of pumas within human settlement areas, and tried to relate them with potential explanatory variables. We found a total of 162 events in Latin America in a period of the last 10 years, particularly concentrated in the year 2020. Most records came from Brazil, followed by Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. Of the total, 41% were only sightings, 58% were captures, and a minor percentage were considered as mascotism. Almost the same number of records came from highly populated areas (cities) than from low populated areas (rural) but with important differences between countries. The countries with more records in urban areas (Brazil and Mexico) showed a larger surface occupied by cities. The countries with most records in rural areas (Argentina and Chile) present the opposite pattern of occupied surface. This might indicate that different percentages of areas dedicated to cities or urban spaces might explain the differences among countries. The most important variable related to puma events in the populated areas was sky brightness, while human density and cattle density explained minor parts. The “anthropause” due to the COVID-19 pandemic might explain the larger number of records from 2020, while the absence of high-quality habitats due to fragmentation and high cattle density, might force the pumas to enter populated areas searching for food. Minor values of night lights could be related to a facilitation of efficiency of foraging behavior. Although some bias might exist in the data, the results should be taken into account as general statements for all analyzed countries.

South America Smart City Surveillance Market is projected to grow around USAD 3.6 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period.

The South American electric bus market is poised for significant growth over the next decade, driven by increasing government support for sustainable transportation, growing environmental concerns, and the decreasing cost of electric vehicle technology. While precise market size figures for 2019-2024 are unavailable, a conservative estimate, considering global trends and the region's developing infrastructure, suggests a market valued at approximately $150 million in 2024. Considering a projected CAGR (let's assume a conservative 25% based on global trends and regional potential), the market is expected to reach approximately $600 million by 2033. This robust growth is fueled by several factors. Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are leading the charge in adopting electric bus fleets, incentivized by government policies promoting clean energy and reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, rising fuel costs and air pollution levels in major South American cities are creating a compelling case for the widespread adoption of electric buses. The market segmentation between Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) will likely see a shift toward BEVs as battery technology improves and costs decrease. Key players like BYD Auto, Volvo Group, and local manufacturers such as Yutong and Ankai are strategically investing in the region, fueling competition and accelerating innovation. However, challenges remain. The significant upfront investment cost for electric buses compared to diesel buses can be a barrier for smaller municipalities. Furthermore, the development of robust charging infrastructure remains crucial for widespread adoption, requiring significant investment in both public and private sectors. This necessitates coordinated efforts between governments, bus manufacturers, and energy providers to ensure a smooth transition to a sustainable transportation system. Despite these challenges, the long-term outlook for the South American electric bus market remains exceptionally positive, with immense potential for growth and positive environmental impact in the coming years. The market's trajectory will hinge upon continued government support, successful implementation of charging infrastructure, and the ongoing technological advancements in battery technology and electric bus manufacturing. Recent developments include: September 2023: Volvo Energy signed a letter of intent with Connected Energy with the ambition to jointly develop a battery energy storage system (BESS).September 2023: Yutong announced that it held a shipping ceremony for 87 apron buses exported from China to Saudi Arabia in the Yutong New Energy Plant.
