Biodiversity of cattle in Amazon rainforest

Approximately 289,000 square miles of the Amazon Basin has been deforested since the late 1970s. Approximately 60% is from ranching. The resulting pastures tend to be of poor quality, yet cleared land is easier for claiming ownership. These livestock are mixed breeds.

White and brown cattle grazing on the bank of a muddy river. The white animal with drooping ears is an Indo-Brazilian. The others are nagori cattle. Both species are very tolerant of extreme heat.

RIP photographer Sebastião Salgado.

This obituary focuses on his work in the Amazon, currently exhibited here in Brussels.

But his work on on wars and famines, and on the plight of workers and refugees, is equally important.

Although injured he climbed the tree painlessly. He then rested on the branch for a while before getting down as effortlessly as he climbed. His tree was occupied by his troopmates. He never interacted with them in as I observed almost a week. He was limping all alone. Injured probably either while defending his territory or while occupying one. I hope to see him again soon. #liontailedmacaque #primates #nature #rainforest #rainforestconservation #wildlifeconservation #wildlife

“Scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute are collaborating with local communities in the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca, a protected Indigenous territory, to foster a ground-up reforestation strategy using native trees and carbon payments.’

Exploring the Rainforest Sea to Sky Highway British Columbia Canada Nestled between the towering coastal mountains and the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, the rainforest along the Sea to Sky Highway in British Columbia is nothing short of breathtaking. This temperate rainforest—lush, vibrant, and alive—wraps you in a world of emerald green as you travel the winding route from Vancouver to Whistler. Moss-draped cedars and towering Douglas firs rise like ancient sentinels, their roots anchored in the misty, fern-covered forest floor. Shafts of golden sunlight pierce through the canopy, catching the fine spray from hidden waterfalls that cascade down the rugged cliffs. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth, wildflowers, and salt from the nearby sea. This coastal rainforest is more than just a scenic backdrop—it is a living, breathing ecosystem teeming with life. Birds call from the treetops, rivers teem with salmon in season, and black bears can sometimes be glimpsed foraging in the underbrush. Every curve of the highway reveals a new marvel: glassy fjords, mist-laced mountains, and the mesmerizing interplay of land, water, and sky. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/exploring-the-rainforest-sea-to-sky-highway-british-columbia-canada-wayne-moran.html #whistler #rainforest #Canada #BritishColumbia #BC #Nature #mountains #nature #hiking #rainforest #Landscape #photography #travel #travelphotography #AYearForArt #buyintoArt
