AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoWildlife Discovery: Bolivia’s Yungas cloud forests have yielded a major science win: researchers formally named a new wild cat species, Leopardus tilcayo (“tilcayo”), the first living feline described in over a century, based on genomic work and museum DNA; the only confirmed living individual is a ~10-year-old male at the Senda Verde sanctuary. Conservation & Threats: Reporting around the discovery highlights how little is known about the cat’s population and habits, while warning that its habitat faces pressure—making the find a fresh conservation priority for Bolivia’s threatened Yungas. Fuel Policy & Food Security: Former President Evo Morales criticized Bolivia’s diesel subsidy withdrawal ahead of planting, saying it shifts costs onto small producers and could worsen hunger risks amid climate stress. Finance Watch: Bolivia lawmakers approved an IMF $1.9B deal tied to stabilization steps, including fuel subsidy elimination and reforms aimed at restoring external financing access. Regional Environment: Elsewhere in the region, authorities tracked unhealthy air from haze possibly linked to forest fires abroad.
