EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Critically Endangered Brown Howler Monkey (Alouatta guariba) Feeding on Guaba Fruit (Inga edulis) in the Verdant Rainforest This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by W.H. Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart, showcases a critically endangered Brown Howler Monkey (Alouatta guariba) in its natural habitat, engaged in the act of consuming a Guaba fruit (Inga edulis). The monkey, also known as the Araguato or Araguaian Howler, is depicted with its distinctive brown fur, long prehensile tail, and expressive face, as it reaches out to grasp the fruit with its nimble hands. The Brown Howler Monkey is a native of the Atlantic Forest region in South America, specifically in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. However, due to deforestation, fragmentation of their habitat, and hunting, their population has drastically declined, making them one of the most critically endangered primate species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has classified them as "Critically Endangered" on their Red List. The Guaba tree (Inga edulis), also known as the Terciopelo or Wild Cocoa tree, is an essential food source for the Brown Howler Monkey. The fruit, which is rich in nutrients, is a vital component of their diet, providing them with the energy they need to survive. The tree is also an essential part of the rainforest ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various other species. Mycetes ursinus, or the Araguaian Tapir, can be seen in the background of the engraving, adding to the rich biodiversity of the rainforest. The intricate details of the engraving capture the beauty and complexity of the rainforest and the creatures that call it home. This engraving is a reminder of the importance of preserving these critically endangered species and their habitats for future generations.
