AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoLithium and Water: Bolivia’s lithium ambitions face a basic constraint: water. A review of the Lithium Triangle says brine chemistry and water availability complicate extraction; Bolivia holds an estimated 23 million tonnes of lithium resources. Calls for local communities to have a voice are growing. Wildlife: Researchers have described the tilcayo, a small wildcat long known to local communities in Bolivia’s Yungas. Its discovery highlights how little is known about the species and where it lives, as deforestation and hunting threaten its survival. Climate: September was the planet’s second-hottest on record, while El Niño is adding pressure to Latin America’s food security. Andean ecosystems: In Chile’s Atacama salt flats, lithium extraction is raising concerns for water, flamingos and Indigenous communities — a warning relevant across the region’s lithium frontier.
