Recent reports highlight significant wildlife activity and biodiversity documentation across various Brazilian regions.

In Mato Grosso do Sul, the Rio Ivinhema State Park (PEVRI) achieved national recognition during the October Big Day 2026. Managed by the state government through Imasul, the park ranked first in Brazil for the total number of observation lists submitted and second nationally for species diversity, with 217 different bird species identified.

Additional sightings were documented in other areas. In Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, drone footage captured three large, healthy anacondas in the Sucuri River. Meanwhile, in Rondônia, a juvenile harpy eagle was identified near Machadinho d’Oeste, with experts suggesting the bird’s proximity to humans may be due to its youth.
