At least 6,691 hectares of forest were lost from 2023 to 2025. Climate and Farming: October was the planet’s warmest on record, while a powerful El Niño threatens smallholder crops across Central America with heat, drought and flooding. Mining Pressure: A recent analysis says Chinese firms have received about 80 mining concessions in Nicaragua since 2023, covering roughly 11% of the country’s territory.
