Recently Discovered, Critically Endangered bird (Araripe Manakin) Gets Its First Reserve

The 140-acre parcel that Aquasis and ABC acquired is connected with the state-managed Sítio Fundão State Park, and borders Araripe National Forest to the south. An adjacent landowner agreed to full protection for 27 acres of his land. Aquasis is also in discussions with another nearby landowner to expand the reserve a further 60 hectares (148 acres).
