Guyana Oil Fund Pivot: President Mohamed Irfaan Ali says Guyana’s Natural Resource Fund is moving beyond “just saving,” exploring overseas investments that are safe, yield decent returns, and sit in countries with rule-of-law predictability—while noting the NRF received about US$3.6B by Sept 2025 and withdrawals of US$2.46B in 2025 to fund public spending. French Guiana Nature Momentum: In the City Nature Challenge, French Guiana surged to top-5 worldwide with 3,819 species from 23,000 observations in four days, driven by 250+ observers on iNaturalist—highlighting a carnivorous plant newly recorded in Iracoubo and renewed concern over a potentially invasive species. Space & Defense Watch: SpaceX is targeting a Friday May 15 launch for Starship Flight 12, the first V3 test from the new Pad 2; meanwhile, Turkey’s Somalia “spaceport” is framed as a long-range missile testing site, stretching up to 1,250 miles. Local Health Alert: French Guiana continues heightened surveillance for Maripa virus (hantavirus), with 11 cases since 2008 and six fatalities, as teams push field studies and prevention around rodent-contaminated dust.
