The South American Tapir is also one of the three prominent animals anticipated by tourists in the Amazonian rainforest. The adorable, clay-lick-grazing animal is classified as endangered in Peru, and the ecosystems are destroyed by deforestation and burning. The deforestation and illegal poaching serve equally significant threats to the survival of this animal.🙂

Did you know there’s this cool monkey 🐒 called the white-cheeked spider monkey? It’s from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. They’re super adapted for living in trees with their long arms and legs, almost like little acrobats! They mostly eat fruit and hang out in big groups, but they split into smaller groups to find food, which is a smart way to avoid fighting over it.🐵

The Purple-crowned Fairy-wren is found in dense riverine vegetation and comprises two subspecies. During the breeding season, males are known for their striking purple plumage. Current grazing practices and uncontrolled fires have led to habitat reduction, posing a significant threat to their survival. Environmental projects in Australia, particularly controlled burns, are helping to improve their survival and support indigenous land management.🐦
