Urca Oil and Gas Production Field Development - Brazil

A worker operates an oil well at the Urucu Oil and Gas Production Field in the state of Amazonas, Brazil, on Oct. 16, 2025. The Urucu Oil and Gas Production Field, located in the heart of Brazil's Amazonas state, is one of the country's most important onshore oil and gas production bases. Surrounded by pristine rainforest, it has operated steadily since its start-up in 1988, supplying oil and natural gas that support energy needs across northern Brazil. According to its operator Petrobras, the field has preserved about 98 percent of its area as native forest, carries out rainwater recycling, waste recovery, and reforestation programs and plants more than 1.5 million native trees.

Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: The rivers and canals around Dhaka were once vital sanctuaries of biodiversity. Countless fish swam in their waters, serving as the main food source for fish-eating birds. But now that scene belongs to the past. What was once clear water is now occupied by heaps of garbage. Plastic, polythene, industrial waste, and household trash have severely polluted the water. Faced with a food crisis, fish-eating egrets are being forced to search for food in these piles of waste. Their natural food—fish—is no longer easily available, compelling them to look for alternatives. In Bangladesh, the filling up of rivers and wetlands, illegal encroachment, and plastic pollution together are pushing aquatic ecosystems towards destruction. These wetlands once provided shelter to thousands of native and migratory birds. But in recent years, their numbers have sharply declined. From the haors to Dhaka’s Turag and Balu rivers and other wetlands, the picture is the same: encroachment, landfilling,
