This book is the first green criminology text to focus specifically on Latin America. Green criminology has always adopted a broad horizon and explicitly emphasised that environmental crimes and harms affect countries and cultures around the world. The chapters collected here illuminate and describe the "theft of nature" and the "poisoning of the land" in Latin America through and from processes of agro-industry expansion, biopiracy, legal and illegal trafficking of free-born non-human animals, and mining. 
An interdisciplinary study, this collection draws on research from a wide range of international experts on not only green criminology, but also social justice, political ecology and sociology. An engaging and thought-provoking work, this book will be an essential text for anyone interested in current issues in environmental crime.

Industry Reviews
"This book provides much-needed breadth and depth to the field of green criminology, which aims to challenge and broaden how we see crimes against the environment, which stand out from other crimes by their extent over both places and time - affecting lands and generations far beyond specific violations. Nowhere is the gap between a crime's impact and its punishment greater than on environmental crime, where even the most serious violations are rarely punished." (Mark Ungar, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, October, 2018)
"This edition is undeniably an important first step for advancing knowledge about environmental crimes in Latin America ... . The cases in this book include illustrations from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. ... The volume's combination of theoretical reflections with case studies makes for a particularly engaging read that would benefit anyone interested in contemporary environmental problems in Latin America." (Johanna Espin, Critical Criminology, Vol. 26, 2018)
