Bamboo groves - PARNASO Series #7

I must confess that at first all these bamboo groves left me a little bit disoriented and if it weren't the trails, we'd have totally got lost. It was almost 4pm, less hot/muggy and the sun had already started showing its golden rays. Sunbeams and this green-gold palette were all around and giving us quite a show.

The PARNASO Series is about being connected to the nature and overcoming limits. It consists of photographs taken in and around the Serra dos Órgãos National Park ('Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos' in portuguese or its abbreviation 'PARNASO'), located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and covering a huge area across four municipalities.

The Atlantic Forest ecosystem, a complex mosaic of jungle, mountains, coastal mangroves and dry savannas which may have rivaled the Amazon in biodiversity, once stretched over a million square kilometers from east of Rio de Janeiro to the northern tip of Argentina. A devastating 92% of this ecosystem and it's diverse inhabitants have been demolished by development, including urbanisation, mining, and especially agriculture. The remaining 8% lies in fractured scraps amongst fields of cash crops and degraded land. We can hardly begin to estimate what mysteries have been lost before ever being acknowledged. Within a mere 2.5 acres of one remnant forest, biologists catalogued 450 tree species - more than twice the number found along the entire Eastern US. It would seem hope is lost and the Atlantic Forest may find its place in textbooks alongside dinosaurs and mastadons. But here at Reserva Ecologica de Gaupiacu, there is a dedicated group of people working to preserve what is left and regrow what is lost, collaborating with organizations like @rainforesttrust to protect the forest one slice at a time. Stay tuned for more as I dive into the wild world of land conservation! #atlanticforest #brazil #conservation #illustration #regua #rainforesttrust #wildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BYZY82PjeozkQxotAFf95YDiXVyRrV6mGgYdzw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No dia Internacional das Abelhas, escolhi postar essa foto de uma abelha-das-orquideas... já conhecia uma abelha verdinha? . 🐝💚 . Fui lembrado pelo amigo @fbfraga_photo que hoje é o dia delas! . #abelha #bee #diadasabelhas #beeday #brasil #brazil #mataatlantica #atlanticforest (em Parque estadual Forno Grande) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdzMXLjDZAG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All I want is a #babydonkey. This year, for our Brazilian #velentinesday, I asked @therealmracai for a bit of an #unusualgift instead of the most traditional ones from the 28 years before that: a #donkey. I want to have one at our #farm in #brazil, @agroflorestavidaforte. It is perfect to help us carry #organicmaterial up and down the hills inside our #atlanticforest. But, alas, I’ve been looking for one since June and they’re nowhere to be found around our farm area, and on the internet (I know, but I do buy everything on th energy lol) they’re absurdly expensive :-( #procurandoumburrico #jegue #mula #asno #burro #jerico pra nossa #fazenda em #teresopolis e não acho.

An eerie path - PARNASO Series #4

Hiking on new trails brings up some interesting things. After a turn, suddenly an eerie path. Such a moody and atmospheric place! A trickle of water flowing between some rocks, pockets of light cutting through the branches of a weird tree and noises of the forest in a fresh morning. Is it haunted?! Probably not. I hope.

The PARNASO Series is about being connected to the nature and overcoming limits. It consists of photographs taken in and around the Serra dos Órgãos National Park ('Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos' in portuguese or its abbreviation 'PARNASO'), located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and covering a huge area across four municipalities.

Foto minha nese Repost do @herpetocapixaba ・・・ Boana albomarginata (Spix, 1824) Perereca-verde; White-banded Tree Frog Guarapari, Espírito Santo, Brasil Photo: Leonardo Merçon Uma das espécies mais clássicas de nossa expedições tem aparecido muito pouco aqui na telinha! Boana albomarginata, aquela que nos encanta com sua vocalizaç��o nas noites quentes de brejo! Porém, esse imago da foto ai ainda não vocaliza! Ainda terá muitas aventuras durante o seu crescimento até se tornar um adulto, começar a vocalizar e se então se reproduzir! Mas isso somente se vir a se tornar um macho! Pois só os machos vocalizam o ‘canto de anúncio’, aquele utilizado para atrair as fêmeas. Daí alguns de vocês podem dizer: “Ah, mas eu já peguei uma fêmea da espécie X e ela ‘vocalizou’ na minha mão!” Sim! Você não estava alucinando depois de ter lambido um Phyllomedusidae: de fato, algumas fêmeas podem sim emitir algum som! . Mas quando elas vocalizariam?! Podem ir respondendo nos comentários! Mas aguardem que no próximo post traremos informações sobre fêmeas vocalizando! .
