Resumen:

This chapter contains a contextual analysis and literature review to describe the main topics and key characteristics of environmental psychology research in Latin America. It aims to provide an overview of these characteristics for future development of environmental psychology within this region. Latin America has a wide and rich variety of ecosystems with vast natural resources and the greatest biological diversity on the planet. The chapter integrates an analysis of researches to provide an inclusive view of the research work carried out in the region from its beginnings to recent years. Among the factors that limit the development of environmental psychology in Latin America, three stand out: lack of collaboration between Latin American researchers and with those from other countries; difficulties of publishing in Spanish or Portuguese languages; and limited opportunities for postgraduate studies. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
