— the first same-sex civil marriage on the books in Bolivia. Article 63 still says a woman and a man. This was won case by case, not by statute. David Aruquipa, whose own union was the 2020 ruling that made dozens of later registrations possible, refused to let last week be called a beginning. He called it a continuity. #Bolivia #MatrimonioIgualitario #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Lesbian #MarriageEquality #LatinAmerica #QueerHistory #TransRights #Solidarity #Journalism #History 2/3

The whole issue, and the question I'm asking under it — what have you built with your own hands that nobody asked you to build?

They applied on 12 October 2022. A registry that said no. A long administrative grind. Two constitutional injunctions filed by IGUAL Bolivia's team. Three years and ten months of being told their family wasn't the kind the state writes down.

RaiNews: Identificato Tigrino, uno dei due soli esemplari viventi di gatto selvatico, di 10 anni Ospitato presso il santuario per la fauna selvatica Senda Verde in Bolivia, è uno dei soli due esemplari viventi noti appartenenti alla specie "Leopardus tilcayo" Identified Tigrino, one of the two surviving wild cat specimens, aged 10. Housed at the Senda Verde Wildlife Sanctuary in Bolivia, it is one of only two known living specimens belonging to the species “Leopardus tilcayo”. #Tigrino #Bolivia #Leopardushttps://www.rainews.it/video/2026/09/identificato-tigrino-uno-dei-due-soli-esemplari-viventi-di-gatto-selvatico-di-10-anni-bolivia-b5a600c0-8ac8-463c-a285-394c13c06786.html

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Non ci saremmo mai aspettati che questo gatto tigre boliviano fosse una specie a sé stante”: la straordinaria scoperta scientifica fatta dai ricercatori È la prima volta dopo più di un secolo che gli scienziati individuano una nuova specie di felino. I ricercatori, per avere la conferma che si trattasse davvero di una specie al momento sconosciuta, hanno dovuto utilizzare i dati genetici che si sono potuti estrapolare dall’animale, arrivando così a identificarlo come Leopardus tilcayo. Questo felino è stato scoperto in Bolivia, nella rigogliosa foresta degli Yungas, una regione montuosa caratterizzata da foreste spesso avvolte dalle nuvole e da un’elevata umidità. L’animale, come dimensioni, è più piccolo rispetto a un comune gatto domestico – è lungo circa 46 centimetri e pesa poco meno di un chilo e mezzo – ed è caratterizzato da un manto maculato, simile a quello di un leopardo. Chiamato “Tilcayo” dalle comunità locali, i ricercatori nell’attribuirgli una denominazione ufficiale hanno deciso di conservare questo nome, accompagnandolo dalla sua principale peculiarità. “Il suo manto è marrone chiaro, con macchie a forma di rosetta irregolare su tutto il corpo” spiega Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, coautrice dello studio che descrive la specie appena identificata, pubblicato sulla rivista “Current Biology”. Non sono ancora ben note le abitudini e la biologia di questo nuovo felino, anche se le prime scoperte lasciano intuire una maggiore attività notturna e la possibilità che nella sua dieta rientrino piccoli roditori. L'articolo “Non ci saremmo mai aspettati che questo gatto tigre boliviano fosse una specie a sé stante”: la straordinaria scoperta scientifica fatta dai ricercatori proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. “We never would have expected that this Bolivian tiger cat was its own species”: the extraordinary scientific discovery made by researchers. It is the first time in over a century that scientists have identified a new feline species. Researchers, to confirm that it was indeed an unknown species, had to use the genetic data they were able to extract from the animal, thus identifying it as *Leopardus tilcayo*. This feline was discovered in Bolivia, in the lush Yungas forest, a mountainous region characterized by forests often shrouded in clouds and high humidity. The animal, like dimensions, is smaller than a common domestic cat – it is about 46 centimeters long and weighs less than one and a half kilograms – and is characterized by a spotted coat, similar to that of a leopard. Called “Tilcayo” by local communities, the researchers decided to retain this name when giving it an official designation, accompanied by its main peculiarity. “Its coat is light brown with irregular rosetted markings all over its body,” explains Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, co-author of the study that describes the newly identified species, published in the journal “Current Biology.” The habits and biology of this new feline are still not well known, although initial findings suggest increased nocturnal activity and the possibility that small rodents make up part of its diet.

Estado de excepción El pacto entre la Central Obrera Boliviana y el gobierno de Rodrigo Paz dio carta blanca al estado de excepción que profundiza la persecución política a las dirigencias que no se vendieron y a la base movilizada, deteniendo incluso a sus familiares. Es indispensable la autoorganización de las bases.

#SouthAmerica’s First Continental #WildlifeCorridor By: Tompkins Conservation, October 9, 2025 "The #JaguarRiversInitiative is the first multi-country effort to create a massive wildlife corridor in the heart of South America. Uniting successful grassroots nonprofits in #Argentina, #Bolivia, #Brazil, and #Paraguay, the initiative will restore #ecosystems, bring back #KeySpecies, and develop #NatureBasedEconomies in a new cross-border model that addresses the mass #ExtinctionCrisis and climate instability on a global scale. "In a groundbreaking announcement during #ClimateWeek in September [2025], an alliance of grassroots South American nonprofits launched South America’s largest continental-scale rewilding endeavor. The Jaguar Rivers Initiative plans to reconnect #FragmentedEcosystems across the vast #ParanáBasin using #RiverCorridors as the connective tissue. 'We all know the urgency of the #biodiversity and climate crises,' said Kristine Tompkins of Tompkins Conservation. 'This bold initiative underlines the need for coordinated, large-scale action before it’s too late. I’d call it a lifeline to our planet.' "South America is in the midst of an unparalleled ecological crisis. #Wildlife populations across the region have declined by 94 percent since 1970—the steepest drop in the world. The drivers of this collapse—#deforestation, river degradation, #fragmentation, fire, and #overexploitation—are intensifying in the face of #ClimateChange. "The Jaguar Rivers Initiative will restore, protect, and connect #ecosystems throughout the heart of South America, covering nearly one million square miles, an area almost twice the size of Alaska. According to Deli Saavedra, the director of the initiative, 'We’re undertaking a very strategic act to safeguard one of the largest river systems in the world. By restoring its ecological integrity, diverse species and communities currently under threat in four countries have the opportunity to thrive, using a model of nature restoration combined with regenerative economies that has been tested and proven successful in places like the #BrazilianPantanal and the #IberáWetlands of #Argentina.' The initiative will be centered around four pillars: • Arks: Large intact ecosystems with keystone species, restored and rewilded to become sources of wildlife dispersal. • #BufferAreas: Surrounding zones where restorative economies promote coexistence and extend protection. • Stepping Stones: Smaller wildlife refuges along corridors, often private reserves, that enable safe dispersal and reduce human-wildlife conflicts. • #Rivers and #Floodplains: Vital corridors for connectivity, requiring healthy ecological flows; safeguarded through citizen guardianship, monitoring, and strong policies."
