Last update: 5 hours agoBolivia’s forests under spotlight: A new global deforestation ranking puts Bolivia among the top forest-cover loss countries, with Laos leading and Bolivia listed at about 11% loss—another reminder that tropical ecosystems and carbon stores are still under heavy pressure. Wildlife in focus: Camera-trap work in Bolivia and Peru suggests the little-known short-eared “ghost dog” may be doing better in intact upland forests, adding rare hope for a species whose distribution has long been uncertain. Lake Titicaca culture meets conservation: A travel piece recalls a Lake Titicaca dinner with reed-boat builders, tying local livelihoods to the lake’s living heritage. Regional biodiversity and fisheries: Mexico announced new fishing refuge zones near La Paz, Baja California Sur, aiming to rebuild fish populations and support local cooperatives—while conservationists also flagged threats to least terns during nesting season in the same region. Health risk for travelers: Colombia’s yellow fever outbreak is driving a CDC Level 2 travel notice across South America, including Bolivia, as cases and deaths rise in newly affected areas. Governance and environment link: Brazil’s deforestation drop is being used to argue against U.S. tariff threats, showing how forest policy is now tied to trade and international pressure.
