Jeremy Hance summarizes a massive new report, The State of the Tropics, that considered the question: Is life in the tropics getting better?

Overall, the future of the tropics is one of rising influence and wealth, but also of struggles to eliminate poverty and hunger, improve health standards, preserve biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and safeguard resources for future generations.
