Alta Floresta titi monkey Plecturocebus grovesi

The enchanting Groves Titi Monkey, also referred to as the Alta Floresta titi monkey or Mato Grosso titi monkey made a remarkable entry into the spotlight only recently in 2016 when they were classified by scientists. They belong to the Eastern Amazonian clade of the red-bellied titi monkey (P. moloch) group and are known for their vividly coloured fur and rowdy rainforest vocalisations. They face multiple anthropogenic threats including hunting gold mining, palm oil, meat and soy deforestation and hydroelectric dams.

Sunda Pangolin Manis javanica

Sunda pangolins, also known as the Malayan or Javan pangolins, possess quirky traits that make them truly intriguing. They are capable swimmers and have a remarkable defense mechanism of curling into a protective ball, walk in an upside-down manner, and communicate through scale vibrations. As consummate insectivores, they rely on their long, sticky tongues to extract ants and termites from mounds. These pangolins have a slow metabolism, lack teeth but have a gizzard-like structure, and feature a specialised digestive system. To protect these unique creatures and their habitat, it’s crucial to take action. Join the movement and raise awareness by boycotting palm oil, which contributes to deforestation and threatens wildlife.

Chimpanzees once helped African rainforests recover from a major collapse

Most people probably think that the rainforest of central and west Africa, the second largest in the world, has been around for millions of years. However recent research suggests that it is mostly just 2,000 or so years old. The forest reached roughly its modern state following five centuries of regeneration after it was massively fragmented when the dry season suddenly became longer some 2,500 years ago.
