 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24. The planes have brought in technical ​equipment as well as dozens of physicians, engineers, lab experts and construction work...

 Brazil commits $617.5 million to Eco Invest program for Amazon conservation


 The Brazilian government has committed $617.5 million to expand ecological investment in the Amazon under an initiative aimed at strengthening sustainable development and reducing deforestation pressures across the region.

The funding is part of the Eco Invest program, a blended-finance model designed to attract private capital into environmental projects. Under the structure, Brazil’s National Treasury provides low-interest loans to banks, which in turn are required to leverage at least four times that amount in private investment, with a majority expected from foreign investors. Officials say the program has already mobilized about 140 billion reais (approximately $28 billion) in combined public and private funding since its launch.

In the latest round, the Treasury committed the new $617.5 million allocation while eight banks pledged an additional $2 billion. Government officials said the resources will support sustainable tourism, infrastructure improvements, and expansion of the “bioeconomy,” which includes industries based on Amazon resources such as acai berries and Brazil nuts while preserving the forest ecosystem.

The Amazon rainforest, the world’s largest, plays a key role in global climate regulation, with Brazil containing more than 60% of it across several economically disadvantaged states. Because projects in the region are often costly and high-risk, the Eco Invest program was designed to reduce investor uncertainty through financial guarantees and incentives.

Officials say the initiative supports Brazil’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 by encouraging economic activity that does not depend on deforestation. While agricultural expansion has historically driven forest loss, government representatives say deforestation rates have fallen significantly since 2023, alongside maintained productivity levels.

The announcement comes amid renewed debate over environmental policy after lawmakers approved measures that critics say could weaken enforcement against illegal deforestation, including limits on satellite-based monitoring tools used to detect environmental crimes. Environmental groups have warned that such changes could undermine protections and Brazil’s ability to respond to climate-related risks.

Despite political tensions, government officials maintain that Brazil remains committed to environmental targets. Authorities say continued investment in programs like Eco Invest will help ensure long-term control of deforestation while supporting economic development in the Amazon region.
