(CNN Español) — Desde la vaquita marina que habita el golfo de California hasta el huemul de la Patagonia, pasando por el imponente jaguar y el cóndor andino, América Latina es hogar de un sinfín de especies espectaculares. Pero también es, según la organización WWF, la región donde han disminuido más las poblaciones de animales vertebrados en los últimos 40 años.Algunas de las especies más emblemáticas de la región, como el cóndor andino que puedes ver en los escudos de Bolivia, Chile, Colombia y Ecuador, están catalogadas como vulnerables o en peligro de extinción. Existen múltiples iniciativas para preservarlas, propuestas que suelen confluir en un punto: la necesidad de que los humanos conozcan y entiendan a estos animales, destacados en el medio ambiente y a menudo en la cultura desde la época precolombina.¿Cuánto sabes realmente del cóndor andino? ¿De la vaquita marina? ¿Y de las mariposas monarca?The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2023 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner B...Pope Francis’ trip to Mongolia in September will be closely watched by Russia and China

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis travels to the periphery of Roman Catholicism later this summer when he becomes the first pontiff to visit Mongolia, a Central Asian nation squeezed between Russia and China with just 1,500 Catholics.The visit is steeped in geopolitical significance as it will be closely watched by both Russia, which controlled Mongolia during the Soviet era, and China, which is seeking to exert its influence through the Belt and Road initiative.No pope has visited either of those nations, and the pope is likely to choose to fly over China on his way, rather than Russia, which is waging war in Ukraine. Following papal custom, Francis can be expected to send a brief telegram to Chinese authorities in recognition, from which a word or two of meaning could be parsed, said Giorgio Bernadelli, editorial coordinator of the missionary news organization Asia News.Francis has been trying to toe a diplomatic line with both countries, sending an envoy to Russia in a bid for a p...Dog's body dumped on Boulder road, suspect wanted

NEW YORK (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is defending an anti-LGBTQ video his campaign shared online that attacks rival Donald Trump for his past support of gay and transgender people, despite some of his fellow Republicans calling it homophobic.DeSantis, in an interview Wednesday on the podcast of conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, did not address accusations that the video was homophobic but said the intent was “identifying Donald Trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants.”“I think that’s totally fair game because he’s now campaigning, saying the opposite, that he doesn’t think that you should have men competing in women’s things like athletics,” DeSantis said.His presidential campaign shared the video on Twitter last week, on the last day of June’s LGBTQ+ Pride Month, saying, “To wrap up ‘Pride Month,’ let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republica...OceanGate suspends all exploration and commercial operations following Titan submersible implosion

BRUSSELS — The EU border agency’s chief left the door open to ending its operations in Greece during a parliamentary hearing on Thursday on a migrant shipwreck off the Greek coast in June which resulted in over 500 deaths.The incident raised questions about Greece’s human rights record, with criticism that the local coast guard did not do enough to save those onboard the ship.“We’re in the stage of asking for more information on a total of three incidents — two earlier and now this one — and define if they have any consequences on the cooperation with Greece,” executive director of Frontex Hans Leijtens told a packed session of EU lawmakers in Brussels.Tensions in the room flared when two right-wing MEPs suggested that immigration was responsible for the violent protests which erupted in France last week.“This is one of the results of uncontrolled migration, and let’s be honest migrants in France have a much better life than in Africa,” said Slovak non-aligned MEP Milan Uhrík, promp...Keir Starmer’s got 5 missions. Can the UK Labour boss accomplish them?

MEDWAY, England — Keir Starmer is a man on five missions. But the Labour leader’s big plan for government may soon have to contend with reality.Starmer launched the last in a five-strong list of “missions” for the U.K. on Thursday if — as current polls suggest — he becomes the country’s next prime minister at the upcoming general election.Speaking at a college in Gillingham, Kent, the opposition leader argued only his party could break the “class ceiling,” and vowed to put education at the heart of his governing plan.But while the promise of five “missions” might make for a snappy headline, converting them into actually policy could prove more tricky.Starmer’s not the first leader to give the pledges tactic a try. Labour’s last election-winner, Tony Blair, rode to power with five key promises — printed on physical cards — in 1997. Starmer’s Tory opponent Rishi Sunak is currently working his way through five key priorities, with limite...Philadelphia mass shooting was ‘obviously planned,’ DA says.

(CNN) — The man facing murder charges in a mass shooting that left five people dead in a Philadelphia neighborhood Monday “obviously planned” the rampage, but the investigation could take months as authorities dig for more details, a district attorney said.Authorities believe Kimbrady Carriker, 40, acted alone when he carried out the shootings, but investigators are still combing through his social media history and looking into possible mental health issues, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner told CNN on Wednesday. He is being held without bail and has not entered a plea.“I can certainly tell you that there are indications of mental health issues. There are indications of irrational behavior. There are indications of irrational statements and irrational acts,” Krasner told CNN.Krasner’s comments came as new details emerged Wednesday about a possible motive for the shootings in Philadelphia’s Kingsessing neighborhood.
