In a landmark environmental agreement, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, Guatemala’s President Bernardo Arévalo, and Belize’s Prime Minister Johnny Briceño announced the creation of a vast tri-national nature reserve covering over 14 million acres (5.7 million hectares) of the Maya rainforest.
President Sheinbaum called the initiative “historic,” citing its significance in safeguarding the region’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage, it now ranks as the second-largest nature reserve in Latin America, trailing only the Amazon.
