EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting world of Indonesia's Sulawesi Island. In this image, we are introduced to the elusive Pygmy Tarsiers (Tarsius pumilus), a unique species that calls the mossy upper montane rainforests of central Sulawesi home. These tiny primates have evolved a remarkable adaptation in their neck vertebrae, allowing them to rotate their heads an astonishing 180 degrees. The Pygmy Tarsiers appear watchful and alert as they cling onto branches amidst the lush greenery of their tropical habitat. Their small size and nocturnal nature make them perfectly adapted for life in this dense rainforest environment. As part of the rich biodiversity found on Sulawesi Island, these creatures contribute to its status as an ecological treasure. Sulawesi itself is a volcanic island located in Southeast Asia, forming part of the Indonesian archipelago. Its mountainous terrain offers breathtaking vistas and serves as a haven for numerous endemic species like these Pygmy Tarsiers. In this stunning photograph captured by PH from Discover Images by AWL, we witness not only the beauty but also the concentration and focus with which these pygmy primates grasp onto their surroundings. It serves as a reminder of both Indonesia's natural wonders and our responsibility to protect such fragile ecosystems for generations to come.
