Jeff Corwin Hi Guys, I know it’s been a while, I’ve been on the road and I am now just having a chance to get back to my Facebook community, I missed connecting with you guys, thought I’d begin with really exciting news. You know I love new species! Scientists have discovered a new species of poison frog on the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in southeastern Peru. The species is commonly known as the Amarakaeri poison frog. Like other poison frog species, A. shihuemoy adults are very atten…tive parents. After females deposit their eggs inside of crevices or caves, males guard the eggs, keeping them clean and moist. Once the eggs hatch and the conditions are right, males then carry their newly hatched tadpoles on their back to a body of water, which they choose carefully to ensure the tadpoles can develop without being threatened by too many predators. For more information on this exciting discovery: https://news.mongabay.com/…/new-species-of-poison-frog-dis…/. More posts to come, please share your thoughts and share this story! Cheers Jeff!

Jeff Corwin Bridges of life connecting habitat, reuniting ecosystems and serving as a refuge for the rarest and most amazing animals in Sumatra! A new study finds promising conservation value in forest corridors along rivers in Sumatra’s plantation-dominated landscape. But government regulations require areas of forest that border rivers — called “riparian” forests – be left standing to safeguard water quality for downstream communities. In the first study of its kind conducted in the t…ropics, researchers set camera traps in riparian forests through tree plantations near Tesso Nilo National Park. They found a significant mammal presence, including tapirs, tigers, bears, pangolins, and elephants. The researchers say their findings indicate Sumatra’s forest remnants could help keep wildlife populations afloat in areas with lots of habitat loss. However, they caution that these corridors are threatened by lax regulation enforcement, and can only work in tandem with larger forested areas. Checkout these fantastic photos of the elusive and rare creatures using these corridors, we see a fresh gigantic tiger track, A rare clouded leopard, a gorgeous Sunbear, a tiger on the prowl, A pig tailed macaque, and a strange but wonderful Malaysian tapir!

SAVE THE FROGS! “The region that the Amarakaeri poison frog calls home is considered one of the most biodiverse on the planet for herpetofauna, but it is also threatened by human activities, including agriculture, gold mining, logging, and an illegally constructed road meant for the transport of fuel for illegal miners and loggers in the area.”

Indigenous Environmental Network For the first time, Indonesia’s central government has recognized the rights of nine indigenous communities to the forests they call home, a milestone for a national indigenous peoples movement that is seeking to bring to a close an era of abuse and discrimination at the hands of the state. That movement still has a long way to go. The nine “customary forests” — known as hutan adat in Indonesian — acknowledged by President Joko Widodo’s administration last week encompass a to…tal of 13,100 hectares (32,370 acres). But the Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) has mapped more than 8.2 million hectares of customary lands it says belongs to the nation’s adat groups, as those who practice ancient modes of knowledge, belief, community and economy are called here. By point of comparison, Indonesia’s nine biggest oil palm firms in 2013 had planted nearly 2 million hectares. “This is only the beginning,” President Jokowi, as he is popularly known, declared in a speech marking the occasion. The area handed out is “still so very small,” he said. https://intercontinentalcry.org/jokowi-grants-first-ever-i…/ See More

Milieudefensie Een mijlpaal: Indonesië kent voor het eerst landrechten toe aan de oorspronkelijke bewoners van het regenwoud. In totaal wordt ruim 13.000 hectare bos teruggeven aan negen stammen. Een keerpunt na decennia van discriminatie, mishandeling en landroof door de overheid. Volgens president Joko Widodo is deze landteruggave nog maar het begin. Dat klopt, want er is nog maar liefst 8,2 miljoen hectare bos in bezit van de overheid, wat eigenlijk toebehoort aan de adat (stammen). Ter vergelijking, minstens 2 miljoen hectare hiervan was in 2013 vernietigd en heringericht als palmolieplantage. Wij zullen samen met onze Indonesische partner Walhi president ‘Jokowi’ aan zijn belofte houden.See Translation

Environmental Investigation Agency Thailand: Pileated gibbons poached as bushmeat to feed illegal rosewood loggers There were 14,000 Pileated gibbons (Hylobates pileatus) in south-east Thailand in 2005, the last time a census survey was done. No one knows what those numbers look like today. The animals are falling victim to illegal hunting, which is the most serious threat to wildlife across South-East Asia according to a recent study. ———————————————————… * Want to know more about illegal logging of rare, protected rosewood species? Read the EIA report ‘Routes of Extinction’ at https://ht.ly/vHlQ3087ccV ——————————————————— The gibbons are especially being poached as bushmeat in Thap Lan National Park by poachers who feed on them when they venture deep into the forest to cut Endangered rosewood trees. US $1.2 billion worth of rosewood timber was illegally smuggled into China between 2000 and 2014, where it is valued highly. Underfunded and under-equipped Thai park rangers regularly engage in firefights with the armed loggers, but it is believed that gibbon numbers continue to fall, as the animals are easily spotted when they sing, and are shot out of the trees.

Greg Allen Not that it really matters anymore, but… “Gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans – our great ape cousins teeter on the precipice of extinction. And it’s not much of a secret that we humans have had a lot to do with putting them there. But what about the other primates? The news isn’t much better, it turns out. According to a new study, 60 percent of primates – including drills and gibbons, lemurs and tarsiers, bush babies and spider monkeys – face the threat of extinction. Even …those not in immediate danger of dying out are at risk, as the numbers of three-quarters of all primate species are trending downward. We are running out of time for much of this.” http://www.truth-out.org/…/39202-running-out-of-time-60-per… http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/1/e1600946 http://www.iucnredlist.org/ See More

HTTH Ban Trophy Hunting A future without primates seems unthinkable, but an extensive review of #ape, #monkey, #tarsier, #lemur and #loris populations finds that 60% of all primates are now threatened with extinction, and about 75% are declining in numbers. The review, the most comprehensive of its kind to date and published in Science Advances, paints a dire future for our closest biological relatives. Their only hope hangs on global conservation becoming an immediate priority, the international te…am of authors says. “It is possible that some primates will go extinct in our lifetimes if we don’t increase our efforts dramatically,” Russell Mittermeier, a primatologist who is the president of Conservation International.
