Environmental and urban shifts in Guatemala and Venezuela

Overview

Environmental shifts and urban expansion are impacting ecosystems in Guatemala and Venezuela. In Guatemala, real estate and infrastructure growth are placing pressure on urban forests and green spaces. Experts note that horizontal developments in city peripheries lead to forest clearing, while vertical projects often prioritize construction over conservation. Additionally, urban models centered on automobiles consume significant space for parking and circulation at the expense of parks and ravines.

In the Los Altos region of Venezuela, unusual temperature increases and droughts have been observed. While climate change and El Niño effects are cited as significant factors, local deforestation, land movement, and the construction of large multi-family residential complexes have also contributed to these environmental shifts.
