https://latinamericanpost.com/economy-en/bolivias-mountain-of-silver-stands-on-the-edge-of-collapse/

At 15,600 feet above sea level, Potosí's Cerro Rico—the "Rich Hill" that once financed empires—still glints with promise, but every sparkle hides a fracture. Beneath the red slopes of Bolivia's most iconic mountain, generations of miners keep digging even as the mountain's summit begins to cave in.

https://latinamericanpost.com/life/brazils-guardians-of-the-sea-pull-hope-from-the-mud/

The mangroves breathe again. In Rio de Janeiro's vast Guanabara Bay, a place long choked by plastic, tides now ripple through roots that had been buried in trash. Herons perch where bottles once bobbed, and flashes of pink—the returning roseate spoonbill—cut across the morning light. This quiet resurrection is the work of fishers, crab harvesters, and Indigenous families who call themselves Guardians of the Sea. Their tools are gloves, bags, and stubbornness. Their reward is the sound of water moving freely again.

Here, the nation that gave the world Pelé, Carnival, and the telenovela is training its next export: the content creator as entrepreneur.

A century after his death, the humble doctor from the Andean hills of Isnotú has been officially declared Venezuela’s first saint. But long before Rome confirmed it, his people already had.

https://latinamericanpost.com/americas/in-pueblas-mud-and-memory-mexicos-storm-survivors-ask-for-more-than-resilience/

In Huauchinango, a town tucked between mist and mountains in Puebla, grief and grit walk the same flooded streets. Neighbors still dig through the mud where homes once stood, searching for the missing by name and memory. As Mexico counts the dead, the missing, and the damage left by October’s rains, one truth rises like the water itself: resilience is not a plan, and recovery without policy is just endurance.
