Javier Palummo is the Special Rapporteur of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH), known for his work on economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights. In 2024, he led a delegation to Bolivia to investigate the alarming levels of forest fires that occurred despite a government-imposed 'environmental pause'. His findings highlighted the severe impact of these fires on communities and ecosystems, underscoring the need for stronger environmental protections and sustainable practices.
