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

In addition to the land securement, ABC and Aquasis have made strides in reforesting disturbed areas of the Chapado do Araripe, with more than 4,500 native seedlings planted as of December 2014, and more planned. According to ABC, these conservation efforts will help preserve not only the Araripe manakin, but also other species that share its restricted habitat, such as the silvery-cheeked antshrike (Sakesphorus cristatus) and the white-browed antpitta (Hylopezus ochroleucus).
