Even worse is biological littering, it's self-replicating and persists indefinitely... Eg eucalyptus (native only to Australia) & pines (native only to the northern hemisphere aside from south Sumatra/Java) are naturalizing all across the Andes countries, Brazil, NZ, having been planted as tree farms etc.
They provide little habitat to native species, suppress native plants via allelopathy, and are generally a recognizable, visible blight of human carelessness across the landscape.
It's especially rampant in Chile, where pines are sprouting up in naturalized forests outside of the massive plantations. In Andean Argentina pines are a jarring immersion breaker where you would expect to see unspoilt nature. Eucalyptus with their spindly weak branches and exfoliating bark is also everywhere in Chile, Peru, Br etc.
And the longer it goes on the more people will see them as just "always having been there" and the deeper into the wild they will spread. At least in NZ there is a strong conservation impulse and funding to prevent the spread of invasive species into wild spaces. I'm not even sure Latam realizes it's a problem. Most of this all happened in the last 60 years btw like most terrible things- within a generation the landscapes of these countries may have been marred forever
