Original: 233 arrested in environmental crime crackdown in Latin America and Caribbean

Interpol says 233 people have been arrested in a coordinated crackdown on environmental crime across Latin America and the Caribbean. The operation targeted illegal logging, wildlife trafficking and related offences in a region that is home to some of the world's most important rainforests. Officials say the arrests show growing regional cooperation against criminal networks profiting from environmental destruction.

Why now: The scale of the arrests highlights rising international pressure on environmental crime in the Amazon and wider region.
