AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoWildlife Discovery: Bolivia’s Yungas cloud forests have a new scientific star: Leopardus tilcayo (“tilcayo tiger cat”), the first living wild cat species formally named in over a century, described in Current Biology after DNA work on a cat long kept at the Senda Verde sanctuary near La Paz. Researchers say it’s smaller than a house cat, with leopard-like rosettes, and only one living individual is confirmed so far. Conservation Action: In La Paz, Guardianas del Conchalito—12 women’s group—has spent 15+ years restoring a degraded coastal wetland, protecting mangroves and rebuilding habitat through patrols, cleanups, and sustainable oyster cultivation. Policy Pressure on Food Systems: Former President Evo Morales criticized Bolivia’s diesel subsidy withdrawal, warning it shifts costs onto agricultural producers ahead of planting, amid El Niño-linked climate threats and an extended state of exception. Mining Watch: Orvana Minerals reported first copper cathodes from its Don Mario oxide stockpile project in Bolivia, but said ramp-up is slower than expected and revised production guidance.
