Last update: 10 hours agoLeatherback comeback: After five near-silent nesting seasons, conservation teams on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast say leatherback turtles are nesting again—one first nesting female spotted in November 2025 and her nest protected—offering a rare sign of recovery for a critically endangered species. Big Cat diplomacy: Nicaragua is also listed among member countries as India-led plans for the first International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) Summit in Delhi (June 1–2) expand, with Saudi Arabia set to join as the 26th member. Mining pressure: A new report claims U.S.-sanctioned Chinese gold firms control up to 6% of Nicaragua’s territory via long-term lease deals—raising fresh concerns about land, wildlife, and environmental safeguards. Thin on Nicaragua-only updates: Most other recent items in the week’s feed focus on global politics and wildlife elsewhere, so the turtle recovery is the standout local conservation story right now.
