This amazing species, only found in a tiny part of the Andes and discovered less than 30 years ago, is undoubtedly the most famous bird in Ecuador! The efforts to conserve its habitat gave rise to the Jocotoco Foundation, today one of the most important actors for the conservation of birds and other endangered species in the country.
I figured it would be a good symbol for the occasion - the wonders of our natural world, those we already know and those left to discover, and those of us who cherish them.
Happy holidays everybody Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago
