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.
New mapping identifies Brazilian forests that are crucial for recycling moisture toward Peru and Bolivia. The proposal targets conservation where atmospheric flows converge and where deforestation, roads and gaps in legal protection threaten the regional water cycle.
Forest fires in the Bolivian department of Tarija are spreading for the fifth consecutive day, reaching communities near the capital. Strong winds of up to 70 km/h, mountainous terrain and drought hinder firefighting efforts, while the government deploys helicopters and reinforces operations with military and firefighters.
The municipality of Zárate, in northern Buenos Aires province, is preparing for a potential historic rise in the Paraná River due to the imminent arrival of a "Super Niño." With temperature anomalies of up to 7 degrees in the Pacific, the phenomenon could surpass the events of 1997 and 2015, and resemble that of 1877-1878, with impacts on the Río de la Plata Basin between October and February.
The 2026 Recycling Leaders Forum consolidated Mexico as a key player in the transition towards a circular economy in Latin America. With the new General Law on Circular Economy as the regulatory framework, the event brought together representatives from ECOCE, PETSTAR, Arca Continental, and the Monterrey Institute of Technology, who agreed that recycling has ceased to be an environmental trend to become a structural strategy for competitiveness, investment, and economic development.
At the midpoint of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, specialists set out seven recommendations for projects to better integrate scientific data, local knowledge, flexible financing and adaptive management.
The research examined Brazil’s Equatorial Margin and projected cumulative spill risks for seagrass meadows, mangroves, rhodolith beds, coral reefs, mesophotic reefs and seamount ecosystems.
The Riyadh summit of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification placed land restoration, drought resilience and financing at the center of the agenda. More than USD 12 billion was pledged, but a binding global agreement on drought remained pending and will continue toward COP17.
The European Commission proposed changes to the Emissions Trading System, the bloc’s main climate tool, with a more gradual reduction path after 2030 and stronger support for industrial decarbonization. The debate shows that the energy transition also depends on rules, financing, competitiveness and institutional trust.
The World Meteorological Organization’s regional climate report recorded high temperatures, marine heatwaves and historically low surface pH levels in 2025. The impacts extend to ecosystems, fisheries, economies and communities, while coordination and capacity gaps still hinder risk anticipation.
