Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 to October 15 in the United States, serving as a time to honor and recognize the rich histories, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. For the Latin American & Caribbean Working Group, we want to use this month to highlight how people of Spanish, Mexican, Caribbean, Central, and South American descent have contributed to natural resource conservation across the globe.
