AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoBolivia Forest Fight: A 30,000-hectare Bolivian forest has been sold to Bom Futuro, tied to one of the world’s largest soy firms, raising fears that up to two-thirds could be cleared—while a preservation bid backed by Rabobank’s sustainability arm lost, and conflict-of-interest questions are now in focus. Climate Pressure: Across the Central American Dry Corridor, El Niño-linked drought is killing livestock, leaving fields barren, and driving families to cut meals as water runs short. Indigenous Carbon Markets: In Bolivia’s Pando Amazon, Indigenous groups say “climate solutions” and carbon-market deals are being pushed without clear understanding or consent, with leaders describing the forest as living land—not a commodity. Wildlife Research: Bolivian river dolphins were photographed with an anaconda in their beaks, reigniting debate over whether the encounter was play, teaching behavior, or something else. Governance Under Strain: Bolivia’s government extended a state of exception for 90 days amid protests over neoliberal measures, drawing criticism that it could criminalize mobilizations. Amazon Conservation Risk: Experts warn that right-wing leadership could control up to 95% of the Amazon by 2027, threatening conservation cooperation and raising tipping-point fears.
