Brazil’s antitrust regulator, CADE, on Sept. 30 decided to suspend the Amazon soy moratorium from Jan. 1, 2026.

Depending on the probe’s course of action, this could dismantle one of the nation’s most important private sector pacts credited with slowing deforestation of the tropical rainforest for soy plantations.

I just watched a good 25 minute doco on the efforts to save the condor in Argentina. There’s only about a thousand of these gigantic birds left in Argentina and a band of dedicated conservationists are working hard to arrest the decline.

China is racing to build the world’s largest national park system by 2035 consisting of a 272M-acre network already protecting pandas, tigers, and glaciers. It aims to triple America’s park size, blending conservation with cultural heritage and eco-tourism. With five sprawling parks already open, China leverages its vast resources and ambition to redefine wilderness preservation.

The 'hoiho' (yellow-eyed penguin) is one of the world's rarest penguins. It's an iconic penguin in Aotearoa/New Zealand. And it's in severe danger. Department of Conservation (DOC) data showed the northern population had collapsed by 80 percent since 2008, with some colonies already becoming functionally extinct.

Conservation groups are calling on the government to put an emergency fishing ban in place. The government would be informed by a "scientific multi-threat risk assessment". OK. But the government awarded the tender for the assessment in September 2022 already with diddly squat action. While many things have fast tracked through legislation this year with urgency and attempts to keep things clandestine.

Why am I saying this? Well, my #scouts name is 'Hoiho', so naturally I mentally stumbled upon this piece on the radio this morning.
