That's a wrap! We have now reforested 21.5ha of Atlantic Forest with two Mbya Guaraní communities. They will have an income from the yerba mate & the forest will have a chance to recover! #forest #indigenous #conservation #Paraguay

Thank you so much to all our amazing supporters who helped us reach our fundraising target! We will now be able to work towards preventing sightings like this by identifying the most urgent locations and installing bridges for the monkeys, keeping them safe from traffic collisions and dog attacks!

This week we were visiting several of our partner Mbya Guaraní schools to carry natural science lessons when the temperature plummeted to around 6C. Winter had arrived.

This #WildlifeWednesday lets meet one of Paraguay's more rarely encountered creatures, the Marsh Deer. The largest of the Paraguayan deer, it habits wetland areas and flooded grasslands. It can be recognised by its darkened snout and huge ears. Males possess impressive antlers.

This #MonkeyMonday let us introduce Captain Morgan. He is the alpha male in the 'Machete' group. Perhaps a somewhat unusual name for a group of monkeys, but it's not by chance. Our alpha is blind in his right eye likely as the result of a machete wound.

This #Wildlifewedneday meet the Tayra! Essentially a giant weasel, the tayra is an adaptable omnivore found across Paraguay. Though a brief glimpse may suggest a cat, the hopping, weasel-like gait gives his identity away! This individual was photographed spying on the primate team back in 2013!!

Do you know much about Paraguay? Paraguay is a landlocked country in the heart of South America. From the Atlantic Forest to the Gran Chaco Paraguay is home to spectacular wildlife. But it's natural habitats are highly threatened by an incredibly high deforestation rate.
