  • Cooking palm nuts on the fire.<br />
Bameno Community. Yasuni National Park.<br />
Amazon rainforest, ECUADOR.  South America<br />
This Indian tribe were basically uncontacted until 1956 when missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics made contact with them. However there are still some groups from the tribe that remain uncontacted.  They are known as the Tagaeri & Taromenane. Traditionally these Indians were very hostile and killed many people who tried to enter into their territory. Their territory is in the Yasuni National Park which is now also being exploited for oil.

  • Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis)<br />
MADAGASCAR<br />
One of the most bizarre mammals/ primates / lemurs in the world. Their peculiar features include huge ears, bushy tail, long shaggy coast, rodent-like teeth and a skeletal 'probe-like' middle finger. Males and females are simular looking and have a body length of 440-530mm and weight of 2.3kg. They are nocturnal lemurs and largely solitary. During the day they hide in a 'nest' which they make from twigs and dead leaves. They are continually making new nest sites. They feed on ramy nuts (Canarium madagascariensis) nectar from Traveller's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), some fungi and insect grubs. They have also been known to raid coconut, lichee and mango plantations. They use their rodent-like teeth to gnaw into hard nut shells, then insert the skeletal finger to extract the pulp. A large portion of their night is spent foraging and they are able to travel considerable distances to do that. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Low and mid altitude rain forests, dry deciduous forests and some cultivated areas like lichee and coconut plantations. They are found widely in native forests along the entire east coast rain forest region, northern humid forests and west coast from Bemaraha north.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The population densities are not known but as in the case of most lemurs probably declining through habitat loss as their home-ranges are large. In some areas it is 'fady' (taboo) to hunt them while in others they are thought to bring bad luck and are killed by villages.  The meat is also sometimes eaten.<br />

  • Dried centipedes in Kunming Traditional Medicine Market. Yunnan Province CHINA<br />
Yunnan's rich flora and fauna has been heavily exploited. People have been using such things as walnuts, oil-palm, wild fungi, betel nuts, camphor, lacquer, chillies, longan, pomelo, angelica, devil-wood and countless others as medicinal plants for centuries. Over half the plant species in the whole of China are found in Yunnan. 1/4 of the country's medicinal plants grow there. Traditionally Chinese people have also viewed wild animals as a resource to be exploited rather than preserve. Health food in Yunnan is more likely to to mean snake blood, extracted bear bile, ground tiger's paw etc than carrot juice. Although there are many protected species and laws against the use of many animal products these laws don't seem to be respected. Sadly too, many of the things seen for sale in the markets are from other countries and there was a very high percentage of snakes, lizards, penises from different animals and sea creatures like sea horses.
