Brazil takes pioneering action — and a vaccine — to rewild howler monkeys

Brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba), endemic to the Atlantic Forest in Brazil and Argentina, became one of the 25 most threatened primate species following a yellow fever outbreak in late 2016.

In response, Brazilian government agencies and other conservation organizations launched a nationwide population management plan, the first of its kind in the country, focused on coordinating captive facilities with experts who could relocate animals to areas where populations have vanished or declined.

Nationwide management of howler monkeys was made possible by the adaptation of a vaccine — originally developed for humans — against the yellow fever virus.

Howler reintroduction initiatives in Brazil have already begun showing signs of success.

Férias no Brasil - Destinos de viagem por actividade!

Quando planeia viajar/explorar as suas férias no Brasil, o(s) seu(s) destino(s) de viagem preferido(s) pode(m) depender muito das suas actividades favoritas.

a) Apenas férias na praia

Mesmo que existam muitas praias bonitas em diferentes lugares do mundo, é por isso que esta não deve ser necessariamente a principal razão para visitar este país, seguindo uma breve descrição dos três principais tipos de praias que se encontram ao longo da linha costeira brasileira de 8.000 km:

Praias de coqueiros sem fim com e sem dunas, em parte com recifes ao largo e falésias coloridas, por isso - chamadas falésias, no nordeste. Encantadoras praias desertas e semidesertas com pequenas baías rodeadas por montanhas cobertas de floresta tropical da Serra do Mar, no sudeste (a minha favorita pessoal). 

O Rio Grande do Sul, no Sul do Brasil, parece ter uma praia rectilínea plana interminável de norte a sul, com dunas mas sem coqueiros e recifes. Faz lembrar um pouco as praias da Holanda / costa atlântica europeia. De beleza extraordinária são o Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses no Maranhão, a parte litoral das Reservas do Sudeste (São Paulo / Paraná) e Sítios do Património Mundial da Costa do Descobrimento (Sul da Bahia) como o paraíso das aves Lagoa dos Patos (Rio Grande do Sul).

b) Actividades ao ar livre

Para actividades ao ar livre, particularmente caminhadas / caminhadas / trekking / escalada, ciclismo de montanha e caiaque, definitivamente a Mata Atlântica deve ser a sua escolha. Oferece inúmeras trilhas históricas, belas praias desertas e semi-desertas, vegetação de mangue e restinga, montanhas cobertas de floresta tropical de até 3.000 metros de altura (Mar /Mantiqueira), rios encantadores, cachoeiras e piscinas naturais, comunidades tradicionais e algumas cidades coloniais. Além disso, é de fácil acesso através do aeroporto internacional de São Paulo ou do Rio de Janeiro.

c) Espeleologia

Existem muitas áreas cavernícolas no Brasil, mas em combinação com a floresta tropical, a Província Espeleológica da Alta Ribeira / Paranapiacaba (Estado de São Paulo), com a sua fantástica paisagem cársica e centenas de grutas de calcário, é única. Recomendação: Intervales e Parque Estadual do PETAR.. viajar pelo brasil

d) Mergulho

O Brasil não tem Grande Barreira de Corais e não é um famoso local de mergulho. No entanto, a ilha de Fernando de Noronha em Pernambuco e as dezenas de naufrágios nos arredores de Ilhabela (São Paulo), podem valer a pena uma visita.

e) Observação da Vida Selvagem

Quando se pode suportar o calor e os mosquitos, o Pantanal é o lugar onde se pode estar para ver, fotografar e filmar animais no seu habitat natural. Especialmente a estação seca (Inverno) é altamente recomendada, porque as áreas inundadas encolhem e os animais têm de sair do seu abrigo para ter acesso à água. Para isso, não vá à Amazónia, provavelmente ficará desapontado. Um biólogo, que participou numa expedição de 7 dias de floresta tropical ao Pico da Neblina, disse-me uma vez que não viu um animal durante toda a caminhada.

Para observar aves, visite o Parque Estadual de Intervales, onde pode facilmente observar uma espécie de ave diferente a cada 15 minutos. O arquipélago de Abrolhos é um excelente local para a observação de baleias durante a época. Quando estiver em São Paulo, o Parque Estadual da Cantareira é uma excelente opção para ver macacos vivos livres, especialmente macacos uivadores (Alouatta guariba). f) Cultura e História

O Brasil, com certeza é uma grande natureza / destino ecológico, mas penso que é justo dizer que se se vem de um continente culturalmente rico, como a Europa, o Brasil, com a sua jovem história, em termos de atracções culturais, não se pode comparar muito bem. No entanto, os edifícios e igrejas coloniais barrocos que datam do ciclo do ouro do Brasil, podem valer a pena uma visita. Uma alternativa interessante para combinar cultura e história com uma beleza natural excepcional é uma visita ao Património Mundial da Costa do Descobrimento no Sul da Bahia ou seguir a antiga rota do ouro (Estrada Real) desde as áreas mineiras em Ouro Preto / Diamantinha (Minas Gerais) até ao porto em Paraty. O Complexo Lagamar (São Paulo / Paraná) oferece sambaquis pré-históricos, comunidades piscatórias tradicionais (caicaras) e mais para o interior, descendentes de escravos africanos, assim chamados - quilombolas.

g) Outros

Para além de Trindade / Martim Vaz, com acesso difícil e limitado, Fernando de Noronha é a mais bela ilha do Brasil. Se o turismo de massas não é um problema para si e o tamanho importa, não há nada que se compare às quedas de água de Foz de Iguaçu (1 dia é suficiente). A suspensão e o parapente é possível no Monumento Nacional Pontoes Capixabas, no Espírito Santo, onde também se podem encontrar as formações rochosas mais espectaculares do Brasil. Decidir entre o carnaval do Rio de Janeiro e o carnaval de Colónia pode ser uma escolha difícil, mas a passagem de ano em Copacabana é insuperável. Se estiver em São Paulo e não finja visitar a Argentina, não se esqueça de incluir um jantar num restaurante típico de churrasco / rodizio.

Mural at infant school in Brazil - crowdfunding campaign

https://youtu.be/OhFp7ym5bIc

Original campaign: https://chuffed.org/project/infant-school-mural-brazil

What and where

We are painting an 85 metre mural at João Batista Cardoso infant school in São Luiz do Paraitinga, Brazil with the participation of the children, parents and teachers.

The mural will transform the wall into bright, colourful and engaging space for the whole community to enjoy, especially the children as they walk to and from school.

Why

The infant school takes approximately 180 children from 3-6 years old and is compulsory as the first stage of schooling in Brazil. The school provides a wonderful space for young children to play and learn but as part of a small rural town it lacks the funds to spend on anything other than the normal day-to-day running costs of the school. For this reason we are using crowdfunding and asking you to help us realise the project.

We strongly believe that participatory art projects bring people together in a creative, constructive and positive action that benefits both the individual participating and their wider community. Mural projects nurture and inspire creativity in children and adults alike and can boost morale, community cohesion and create a sense of pride and ownership over a public space.

How

Our community artist and project leader Andy will organise and implement the painting in conjunction with the director, teachers and parents of the school. Andy is an experienced community artist and has spent the last five years working in Brazil running various participatory art projects for children and young people with different charities and NGOs.¹

We will run scheduled sessions with the different classes for the children to participate in the painting as well as inviting and encouraging parents to participate as well.

Design

The design depicts many of the animals that are native to this region of Brazil and also the Paraitinga river which runs by the side of the school and from which the town gets its name.

The design of the mural is simple and geometric, this creates an impactful visual style whilst at the same time allowing for everyone to take part in painting as the design can be ‘painted by numbers’.

Mural plan to scale:

Details of each animal:

Capivara / Capybara – Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris

Corujinha-do-mato / Tropical screech-owl – Megascops choliba

Borboleta 88 / Cramer’s eighty-eight butterfly – Diaethria clymena

Bugio-ruivo / Brown howler monkey – Alouatta guariba

Jararacuçu / Jararacussu – Bothrops jararacussu

Tucano-de-bico-verde / Green-billed toucan – Ramphastos dicolorus

Preguiça-de-garganta-marrom / Brown-throated three-toed sloth - Bradypus variegatus

Beija-flor-de-orelha-violeta / White-vented violetear - Colibri serrirostris

Anta-brasileira / South American tapir - Tapirus terrestris

Saúva-limão / Leafcutter ant - Atta sexdens

Tatu-galinha / Nine-banded armadillo - Dasypus novemcinctus

Onça-pintada / Jaguar - Panthera onca

Periquito rico / Plain parakeet - Brotogeris tirica

Macaco-prego / Black capuchin - Sapajus nigritus

Rã-flautinha / Lutz's treefrog - Aplastodiscus albosignatus

Morcego-beija-flor / Geoffroy's tailless bat - Anoura Geoffroyi

Jacutinga / Black-fronted piping guan - Pipile jacutinga

Quati-de-cauda-anelada / South American coati - Nasua nasua

When

We have already painted around 20% of the space beginning with the water pattern which included the participation of the school children and we believe the project will realistically take five months to finish.

This timeline is an estimate that can change depending on various factors. It also does not just reflect the time it will take to paint the mural but the time it will take to complete the project as a whole. This includes the other preparation work necessary such as: finalising the design and colour choices inline with paint available, preparing the large stencils, transferring the design onto the wall and organising participatory workshops with the school children inline with the school's timetable.

Objectives

To complete the painting of the mural through the participation of parents, children and local community members.

To transform the space, creating a sense of ownership, pride and community.

To strengthen the ties between the families and the school.

To run further sessions with each class so that every child in the school makes their mark on the mural.

Funding

Until this point our community artist has given his time voluntarily to work on the project and we have been able to cover the cost of the paint and materials through fundraising events at the school. But with the scale of the mural and the time it will take to complete it this funding will to allow him to support himself whilst he completely dedicate his time to running the project with the school over the next five months.

We are looking for your help to raise £1000 to be able to fully realise the mural and achieve our objectives for the project.

This funding amount is based on the minimum monthly wage in Brazil which for 2019 is R$998.²

The average GBP-BRL exchange rate for the last 12 months has been 4.989.³

This equates to £200.04 per month, so a projected timeline of 5 months therefore gives a total of £1000.20

Esse é o famoso Alouatta (Macaco Guariba, Bugio, Barbado, Uivador) Um pouco agressivo (quando você entra no território dele) na mata, o som que ele faz é super alto e parece com um monstro gigantesco! Eu fiquei com muito medo a primeira vez que eu ouvi!! Na realidade ele é um macaquinho de 30 a 75 cm no máximo!! Super indefeso, que precisa extremamente do nosso cuidado!! Vamos preservar, cuidar dessas criaturinhas!!

Howler monkeys are to blame for Brazil’s worst yellow fever outbreak in 40 years – Brinkwire

See on Scoop.it - COMPARE RISK COMMUNICATION

An outbreak of yellow fever in Brazil which has killed 764 people in the past three years is being caused by howler monkeys, scientists say. loading... Tests on thousands of dead monkeys found the animals are the source of the deadly illness which has infected more than 2,000 people so far. Yellow fever is spread by mosquitoes and causes fever, headache, jaundice (yellow skin), muscle pain, vomiting and fatigue. The ongoing epidemic in Brazil is the nation’s worst in more than 40 years and has spread to the heavily populated city of São Paolo, where 12million people live. Researchers at the University of São Paolo and the Adolfo Lutz Institute in the same city have traced the history of the current strain of the virus. They found it dates back to the 1980s, where it first appeared in the state of Pará in the north of the country. Since, it has travelled to the south coast of the country through the Amazon rainforest and to the country’s most populated city. The virus is believed to be travelling from infected monkeys which are bitten by mosquitoes and the same mosquitoes then bite people and infect them. Monkeys and other primates are known to be a main host of the disease worldwide, though some are more susceptible to it than others.  Brazilian researchers found howler monkeys, marmosets and capuchins were infected with the virus. Howlers almost always die if they get it, marmosets can get infected but don’t always die, and capuchins are considered to be resistant to it. Howler monkeys have been pinpointed as the reservoir of the disease in Brazil after health authorities collected the carcasses of more than 10,000 monkeys. Yellow virus was found in 3,403 of the animals, the health ministry said. ‘More than 90 per cent of the dead monkeys are believed to be Alouatta guariba [brown howler monkeys]. The species is extremely susceptible to yellow fever,’ said Ester Sabino, director of the Institute of Tropical Medicine of São Paolo. ‘Troops of more than 80 monkeys were entirely destroyed,’ Cunha said, referring to the deaths of monkeys in a nature reserve nearby in late 2017. There have been reports of tourists getting infected with the illness, for which there is a vaccine, but it is not known how many. Yellow fever is endemic – regularly found – in 11 countries in South America and 33 in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. It is believed to infect around 200,000 per year worldwide and to kill 30,000. Symptoms usually appear within three to six days and may in rare cases progress to more serious problems such as bleeding, multiple organ failure, shock or death.
