Field Chronicles Video: Abrolhos, The Ocean Connection

In Abrolhos, CI works mainly through a grassroots network of nearly 45 partner organizations that collaborate on scientific data collection, outreach efforts and other activities to facilitate conservation action.
Over the last decade, CI’s Marine Program in Brazil has focused on the design and implementation of a network of multiple-use and no-take marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Abrolhos Region, the richest South Atlantic marine realm.
Researchers discovered a legless lizard and a tiny woodpecker along with 12 other suspected new species in Brazil’s Cerrado. View a photo gallery of these species.
In the Cerrado region of Brazil, four dogs have been trained to detect animal feces by scent. These canines are helping researchers monitor rare and threatened wildlife such as jaguars, tapirs, giant anteaters, and maned wolves in and around Emas National Park.
