EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Black-bearded Saki: A Rare and Critically Endangered Primate" The captivating image before you showcases the enigmatic Black-bearded Saki, Chiropotes satanas, also known by its alternative names Couxio or Couchio. This exquisitely hand-coloured steel engraving, created by W.H. Lizars based on an illustration by James Stewart, is a testament to the beauty and rarity of this critically endangered primate. The Black-bearded Saki is a New World monkey native to the dense forests of South America, specifically in the Amazon Basin. With its striking appearance, this primate is easily distinguished by its long, bushy tail, black face, and chestnut-colored fur. The male's most notable feature is the black beard that covers its face, giving it an air of mystery and intrigue. Sadly, this magnificent creature is critically endangered due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting. The destruction of its forest habitat for agriculture, logging, and human settlements has led to a significant decline in their population. Additionally, they are hunted for their meat and fur, which are considered delicacies in some regions. This historical print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and its diverse inhabitants. The Black-bearded Saki, with its captivating appearance and unique characteristics, is a vital part of the intricate web of life in the Amazon rainforest. It is our responsibility to ensure that future generations can marvel at the beauty and wonder of this rare and enchanting primate. This hand-coloured steel engraving is a precious piece of natural history, offering a glimpse into the past while raising awareness about the plight of the Black-bearded Saki and the importance of conservation efforts.
