GPS tags on eight Magellanic penguins showed larger-than-expected breeding-season feeding areas and different migration strategies. The results are preliminary but can guide possible marine protection next to the Santa Cruz land reserve.
The 2026 assessment found record transgression in climate, biosphere, land, freshwater, nutrient flows, novel entities and ocean acidification. The framework measures rising systemic risk; it sets no single collapse date and does not say every change is irreversible.
A regional forum in Merida is advancing a roadmap to protect 30 per cent of land and seas by 2030. Governments, IUCN and communities call for finance, equitable governance, Indigenous rights and indicators that can demonstrate results on the ground.
Lower rainfall, high temperatures and dry soils are amplifying fires that are overwhelmingly human-caused. Tolima accounts for nearly 30,000 affected hectares, according to the Humboldt Institute, which recommends isolation, monitoring regeneration and choosing passive or active restoration by site.
The Brazilian network was named a World Restoration Flagship at COP17. It brings together more than 180 organizations, had over 27,000 hectares under restoration by June 2026 and aims to scale up without reducing restoration to tree planting.
Three bison arrived at El Santuario Reserve in August 2025 and another 44 in November after more than a century of absence. Grazing, trampling, dung and seed transport are already reshaping the landscape, although full recovery requires long-term monitoring.
A Greenpeace satellite analysis recorded clearing in Santiago del Estero, Salta, Formosa and Chaco between January and June 2026. The territorial distribution of the loss and Salta's increase expose gaps in enforcement, penalties and funding for native-forest protection.
The 58,069-hectare Peruvian reserve holds white-sand forests, Nanay River floodplain habitats and hundreds of species. Its proximity to Iquitos supports research and tourism but also exposes highly specialized habitats to logging and urban expansion.
The trinational initiative covers 33 municipalities, 11 protected areas and six biological corridors. Backed by €11 million from Germany's KfW development bank and contributions from the three countries, it links conservation, water security, restoration and sustainable rural production.
After twelve days of fire, forest and moorland in the Scottish national park were still burning. Three helicopters were dropping about 750,000 liters a day and more than 75 firefighters remained deployed as losses to Caledonian pinewood and wildlife begin a long recovery.
In the Ibirama-La Klãnõ Indigenous Territory in Santa Catarina, the Zág Institute is restoring a critically endangered tree sacred to the Laklãnõ/Xokleng people. Community work now covers 1,000 hectares and links ecological recovery, food sovereignty and cultural continuity.
University of the Free State researchers tested a non-invasive genetic method to estimate greater kudu populations in a South African reserve. The result closely matched existing counts and can also provide data on sex, diet, parasites and the health of elusive species.
