Last update: 3 hours agoNew Cat Species in Bolivia: Scientists have formally described Leopardus tilcayo (the “tilcayo tiger cat”) from Bolivia’s Yungas cloud forests— the first living wild cat species recognized in more than a century—after genetic testing confirmed it was distinct from other tiger cats; the discovery also raises urgent questions about how many exist and how much protection the species needs as its habitat faces deforestation.

El Niño Watch: Multiple reports warn the developing “super El Niño” could bring floods, drought, extreme heat, and crop losses globally, with peak intensity expected in early 2027. Tropical Fire Funding Gap: A UN-linked report highlights a multibillion-dollar shortfall for tropical forest protection, while a new South America firefighting fund launches—leaving out major regions like Africa and Southeast Asia.
