From @mongabay: There’s still room - and time - to save hoolock gibbons, but only just: their habitat has declined in the past few decades, but enough suitable patches exist today to guarantee the long-term survival of the genus if properly conserved.

A type of small ape endemic to South and Southeast Asia, hoolock gibbons spend most of their lives up in trees, rarely touching the forest floor. This makes large stretches of uninterrupted forest crucial to their survival — yet such suitable patches are getting scarcer.

Read about them and the new study that lines out how this cool species can be conserved at mongabay.com.

A new lizard species discovered in #Ecuador has been named after Nemonte Nenquimo, an Indigenous activist and member of the Waorani nation from the Amazonian Region of Ecuador. 

She is the first female president of the Waorani of Pastaza and co-founder of the Indigenous-led nonprofit organization Ceibo Alliance (@alianzaceibo). She was also one of @TIMEs 100 Most Influential People of 2020 and a 2020 winner of the prestigious environmental @goldmanprize. 🏆

This lizard, Nemonte’s Anole (Anolis nemonteae), is the largest anole in southwestern Ecuador and distinguishable by its daytime activity and beautiful colors. A few fun facts:

🟢 At night, these lizards have been found sleeping horizontally on banana leaves.
🟢 Pregnancies are estimated to be about 4 months long.
🟢 Their irises are reddish brown.
🟢 Though not yet evaluated by IUCN, they are likely to be critically endangered given deforestation in the region. 

The Nemonte Anole was discovered by researchers from the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, @uofnm, @inabio_ec, and the University of Guayaquil. Researchers chose to name the anole after Nemonte Nenquimo to honor her successful campaign and subsequent legal action to protect the Amazon rainforest🍃 and Waorani territory from oil extraction in Ecuador.

In a declaration to the government of Brazil and the international community, the Kayapo Indigenous people stand against gold mining and other extractive industries in their territories. This month Brazil is considering a bill that would open up demarcated Indigenous territories to mining, oil and natural gas, threatening the rainforest, the Indigenous communities that depend on it, and the overall health of our planet.
