The government of Brazil has created two new conservation units in the state of Rio Grande do Sul: the Albardão National Park and the Albardão Environmental Protection Area (APA), located in the coastal and maritime zone of the municipality of Santa Vitória do Palmar, according to Brasil de Fato, a partner of TV BRICS.

The initiative is the result of two decades of research and work by ecologists. The park will serve as a refuge for various species, including sharks, birds, elephants, and sea lions migrating from Patagonia.

With the establishment of the park, predatory fishing will be eliminated, allowing the restoration of beaches for the benefit of the local community. In addition, the park will contribute to the sustainable development of the region by supporting the recovery of fish stocks and encouraging both artisanal and industrial fishing.

The protected areas, covering more than 1 million hectares, will support the development of ecotourism, scientific research and environmental education.

Experts note that this measure represents a significant step forward in the preservation of nature and biodiversity, while also opening up new opportunities for regional development.

In a related development, the BRICS countries and their partners attach great importance to biodiversity; Egypt has launched a national strategy aimed at strengthening the conservation of biodiversity and the protection of natural resources, alongside the adoption of an action plan for the period 2024 to 2030, according to Sada El-Balad, a partner of TV BRICS.

Meanwhile, Belarus has officially adopted the national strategy and action plan on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, which sets out several objectives including combating the extinction of wild animals and plants, expanding the diversity of heritable biological resources, and ensuring the safe and responsible use of genetically modified organisms within the country, as reported by BelTA, a partner of TV BRICS.

Vietnamese News Agency (VNA), a TV BRICS partner, also reported that the Indonesian government has officially announced the establishment of a marine protected area covering more than 325,000 hectares of the West Wetar waters in Maluku, with the aim of conserving local biodiversity and protecting a strategic migration corridor used by various marine species.

According to Fana Media Corporation (FMC), a partner of TV BRICS, Ethiopia continues to develop pioneering wildlife conservation programmes and launch sustainable environmental initiatives aimed at preserving biodiversity, foremost among which is the Green Legacy initiative.

Aleksander Alimov

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia

"We are convinced that the only way to make the information space more stable, secure and predictable is through international cooperation. No country is capable of countering cross-border ICT threats on its own. There is a need to develop common rules of the game applicable to all, which would regulate the actions of states and their companies in the digital sphere. [...] The first step in this direction has already been taken with the adoption by the UN General Assembly in December 2024 and the signing in October 2025 of the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia’s initiative. This is the first universal treaty in the field of international information security. Seventy-five countries have signed the document. We call on all countries to sign and ratify this Convention"

Batyr Berdyklychev

World Health Organisation Representative in Russia

"International cooperation can help detect risks quicker, also exchange the results of research and coordinate the response measures. Without this coordination, the consequences of the global crisis could be heavier. [...] We are witnessing the world becoming more and more interconnected and interdependent. Every outbreak of infection in one region can be a potential threat globally. The experience shows us that the resilience of healthcare systems affects economic stability, the national security of states and public trust"

Xi Jinping

President of the People’s Republic of China

"As permanent members of the UN Security Council and important major countries in the world, China and Russia should take a strategic and long-term perspective, drive the development and revitalisation of our respective countries through comprehensive strategic coordination of even higher quality, and work to make the global governance system more just and reasonable"

"The Bank will be strengthening its role as a platform for cooperation among its members, supporting initiatives in digital infrastructure, energy transition, advanced low-carbon energy technologies, intelligent hospitals, and all sorts of innovation, amplifying the comparative advantages of our member countries. […] NDB will continue to pursue gradual, balanced membership expansion and strengthen its role as a unified voice and platform for the Global South, amplifying members' priorities and mobilising collective solutions to share developing challenges"
