Fate of endangered monkey hinges on Brazilian city’s planning policy

Pied tamarin has narrow range and is found only around borders of Manaus in the Amazon rainforest

The fate of one of the world’s most threatened primates will be on the line in the coming months when Brazilian authorities decide whether to incorporate the pied tamarin into the urban planning policies of Manaus.

Conservationists say the inclusion is crucial not just to protect the critically endangered monkey but as an indicator of the Amazonian city’s willingness to create green spaces that will benefit the lives of its people.

The pied tamarin – which has a small, fluffy white upper body and a black, hairless face – has one of the narrowest ranges of any primate and is found only around the borders of the city.

In recent decades it has been squeezed out of much of its home by the sprawl of Manaus, which is the most densely populated metropolis in the Brazilian rainforest with more 2.2 million residents. Unregulated growth has increased the area of the city by 60% since 1985. To feed its people, nearby farms have more than doubled in size, now covering 56,000km/s. Transport systems are also expanding, and roadkill is a major threat to wildlife in this biodiversity hotspot.

If Aubrey is a cat, then Vivian is definitely a margay wildcat. Cute, very similar, but distinctly more wild.

These pretty lads have been observed mimicking a pied tamarin’s call to lure in prey, which is absolutely perfect for him. Plus, with how tall Vivian is, that last pic is perfect.

I’d considered Pallas cats, since they’re a favorite of mine, but they’re…

A bit too expressive. Though that last image is wonderfully fitting.

Tag Game -

Thanks for thinking of me @pflanzidiezimmerpflanze !!!!!! (I'm so sorry, I saw that you tagged me somewhere the other day but I didn't have time to check and then I forgot and only just now remembered!!! 😿❤️)

Rules: Tag people you want to get to know better

Relationship status: no

Favourite colour: PURPLE!!! :-) (also yellow, pink and sometimes orange and cyan)

Song stuck in my head: Yerushalayim by the Miami Boys Choir 🤌🤌🤌

Last song I listened to: Yerushalayim by the Miami Boys Choir 🤌🤌🤌

Three favorite foods: spaghetti, anything you can eat with Bratensoße and Blaukraut, and Zwetschgendatschi

Last thing(s) I googled: yerushalayim miami boys choir, cyan, nerve wracking nerve racking, nerve-wracking, nerv wrecking, apfel zimtschnecken 💀💀💀 (I was unsure of the correct spelling of "nerve-wracking/nerve-racking", things generally make me feel unsure, so I have to look them up all the time, and I like baking. In the end I didn't even make apple cinnamon rolls, I made apple hand pies 🥸)

Dream trip: I really wanna go to a zoo that has emperor tamarins!!! Unfortunately, there are no zoos in Bavaria that have emperor tamarins (I've literally looked up every zoo in Germany that has them, I made a whole list), but since it was possible to travel to Salzburg with the 9€ ticket last summer, it'll probably work the same with the 49€ ticket, so I'll go to the zoo in Salzburg with my sister and one or two friends when the 49€ ticket is here!!!! :-)

Anything I want: see emperor tamarins in real life, have fun, get by, eat good food, find a purpose, watch funny tv show, learn lots of different languages, do crafts, smell the air in a forest, have people around me who I can rely on, be more confident in myself and my abilities, good things to happen to my family and friends <3

Tagging @jofngve @tofufei @berg-gry @9puppiesdrowninginapool @midnightxxcrisis @thia-chattering and everyone else who wants to!!! (I'm serious!!!!!!) 💞💞💞

PIED TAMARIN

The pied tamarin (Sanguinus bicolor), also known as the Brazilian bare-faced tamarin or pied bare-faced tamarin, has one of the smallest ranges of any primate in the world, located in and around the Amazonian port city of Manaus. Pied tamarins thrive best in the continuous old-growth forest that once flourished here. But many are currently forced to make do with the small patches of heavily degraded and severely fragmented forest left within a bustling city that won’t stop expanding.

Pied tamarins are a critically endangered species that live in noisy urban environments in Brazil. The animals now complement vocalizations with smell markings to alert other tamarins to dangers.

Bambous

The small town of Bambous in the Black River district of Mauritius [Population 13047] is situated in West Mauritius a few miles inland from the coast along the main A3 road from Port Louis to Tamarin in an agricultural area against a beautiful background of mountains and La Ferme Reservoir. 

It offers a small range of shops, banks and economic activity, public and welfare services, for example primary and secondary schools, as well as institutions for vocational or technical training and manufacturing units. 

"On A3 south of Bambous the Casela Nature Park is within walking distance of Bambous and Flic En Flac and is well-served by public transport. 

The 14-hectare park is on the main road 1km east of the turn to Flic en Flac. It is beautifully landscaped and has sweeping views over the coastal plain. 

The park houses some 1500 birds, representing species from around the world (some in rather small cages) including rare pink pigeons. 

There are also tigers, zebras, monkeys and deer living in a semi-reserve and giant tortoises, one of which is 180 years old. 

Children are well catered for with a petting zoo, playground and mini golf.

Casela also offers 'safaris' by jeep, mountain bike or on foot around the nearby 45-sq-km Yemen Reserve, where deer, wild pigs, fruit bats and monkeys can be seen in their natural habitat; prices vary according to the different packages.

Quad biking and rock climbing are also on offer. 

The park has a pleasant lunch-time restaurant serving drinks, snacks and more substantial meals to visitors offering fantastic views of the south western coast.

Tourist Attractions nearest to Bambous Dolphin Watch

Their innate connection to humans has made dolphins one of the most fascinating sea creatures. Most often seen in the West of Mauritius and in groups of four or five, the dolphins are more than happy to perform their ballet in the water, as they ride alongside the boat! 

The Casela Leisure and Nature Park

a beautiful garden and bird sanctuary of some 25 acres, is situated in the west part of the island Mauritius near the small village Flic en Flac. 

Almost 2500 birds of 140 different species are housed in some 90 aviaries. 

For example the Mauritian Pink Pigeon, one of the rarest birds in the world, can be seen here. 

Casela also houses other animals such as tigers, monkeys, lemurs, deer and giant tortoises, etc. 

Its natural setting, spacious layout and luxuriant vegetation also makes it a popular spot. 

Situated in the Rivière Noire district, the bird park stretches over 25 hectares and contains more than 140 bird species from all five continents. Other attractions include fish ponds, tigers, tortoises, monkeys, deer and orchids.

The Black River Gorges is a 6,574 hectare park proclaimed natural reserve in 1994. 

It protects much of the remaining indigenous forests of Mauritius and provides an excellent opportunity to visitors to enjoy a wonderful hiking with spectacular scenery and also an occasion to appreciate some of the unique endemic plants and birdlife of Mauritius. 

The gorges have immensely contributed to the regeneration of some endangered endemic bird species like the Mauritian Kestrel and the Pink Pigeon. 

Bird species like the Mauritius parakeet, Mauritius cuckoo-shrike, Mauritius bulbul, Mauritius olive white-eye, Mauritius grey white-eye and Mauritius fody can be found there. 

The National Park is easily accessible from Vacoas or Curepipe via La Marie and Mare aux Vacoas. 

A visitor information centre has been set up at Le Pétrin to welcome and direct visitors and also to provide picnic facilities. 

A boardwalk leads to the typical dwarf forest of the region and a fenced conservation management area (from which invasive non-native plants have been removed) protects a sample of the remaining heathland. From there, various hiking tracks are offered and visitors can choose to walk to Maccabée forest (7km return) or down through the Gorges to Black River (15km) from the road across Plaine Champagne towards Chamarel where there is easy access to viewpoints at Alexandra Falls, over Bel Ombre and over the spectacular Black River Gorges. 

There are also a number of longer walking trails including one to the island's highest point, Black River Peak ( 828m). 

Road access into the Black River Gorges from the coast road has been upgraded and offers a Visitor Centre as well as a camping area.  

The forest-clad slopes of the gorges and the Maccabé Forest nearby contain some interesting specimens of indigenous timber, namely the Bois de Natte, Colophane, Ebony, Tatamaka or Tambalacoque, as well as fine plants peculiar to the island such as the Trochetia, the national flower of Mauritius. Source: Black River District Council

ok i hadnt heard about margays before this poll but i am googling all the cats before voting and doing a lil reading and i love them so much now. so a little margay propaganda for any1 who also maybe hadnt heard abt them

they actually spend the majority of time just in the trees, leaping from tree to tree which is So neat to me.. they can jump up to 12 ft horizontallly!! theyre called tree ocelots sometimes bc of that and bc they look a lot like them except smaller with a longer tail and bigger eyes! they have huge eyes its wonderful. look at these little beafts

[ID: three photos of margays. image 1 shows a margay perched on a tree and looking at the camera. image 2 shows a margay laying in a relaxed position over 2 branches. image 3 shows a margay walking across a branch towards the camera looking directly at it with wide eyes /end ID]

imagining this small creature jumping from tree to tree is just so delightful to me

also fun fact they have been found to be able to mimic pied tamarin infants while hunting. very talented!!

ok vote margay thank you

[ID: a photo of a margay and a photo of a caracal. the margay is a small yellow cat with dark spots. the caracal is a medium red-brown cat with tufts on its ears. end ID]

[mrgabel]

Tamarins are highly social and live in family-like social structures in tropical forests. They present a rare dynamic in the animal world: only the alpha female of the group will produce offspring, but with more than one male. Carrying the infants around is done predominantly by the father.

Their already small habitat has become even smaller due to urbanisation and deforestation in order to provide grazing land for cattle. In addition, they are slowly usurped by another species of tamarins, which are more adaptable and live closer to human villages and which are not being as aggressively hunted as the pied tamarin.

You can tell zookeeper aus are never by actual zookeepers as they always focus on big cats and have the characters actually go in with the large dangerous animals

And I know I'll never write one as people will read it expecting this sort of shit when really ill be writing about hux being overly pedantic over beetles no one gives a fuck about, phasma resenting the fact that the aye ayes are now on her tropical house section and kylo discovering he's not really into large carnivores like his dad and much rather prefers the ratites and other birds. But not the penguin as no self respecting bird keeper likes penguins
