A step closer to extinction: Rana Jambato de Limón - Limón Harlequin Frog
Image by Santiago Ron
Especie en peligro de extinción. Esta pareja de jambatos de Limón en abrazo nupcial fue encontrada en la zona del Río Napinaza afectada por la ampliación de la carretera Limón-Bella Unión en Ecuador. La hembra había muerto mientras el macho permanecía en abrazo nupcial. El macho también murió al poco tiempo de que esta fotografía fuera tomada. La población afectada por la construcción de la carretera es una de las últimas conocidas para la especie.
Endangered frog species. This couple of Limón harlequin frogs was found in the area of the Napinaza River affected by works on the Limón-Bella Unión road in Ecuador. The female lies dead on the river bank. The male, however, continues to embrace her without realizing that his partner is dead. The male died shortly after this photograph was taken. The population affected by the road works is one of the last known for this species.

Buceros bicornis
Family/Sub-family Bucerotidae
Species name author Linnaeus, 1758
Range & population Buceros bicornis has a wide distribution, occurring in China (rare resident in west and south-west Yunnan and south-east Tibet), India (locally fairly common, but declining), Nepal (local and uncommon, largely in protected areas), Bhutan (fairly common), Bangladesh (vagrant), Myanmar (scarce to locally common resident throughout), Thailand (widespread, generally scarce but locally common), Laos (formerly common; currently widespread but scarce and a major decline has clearly occurred), Vietnam (rare and declining resident), Cambodia (rare), Peninsular Malaysia (uncommon to more or less common) and Indonesia (uncommon on Sumatra).
Ecology: This species frequents evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, ranging out into open deciduous areas to visit fruit trees and ascending slopes to at least 1,560 m. The abundance of this species tends to be correlated with the density of large trees, and it is therefore most common in unlogged forest.
Threats Logging is likely to have impacted this species throughout its range, particularly as it shows a preference for forest areas with large trees that may be targeted by loggers. Forest clearance for agriculture is also likely to have contributed to declines. It is particularly susceptible to hunting pressure as it is large, visits predictable feeding sites (such as fruiting trees) and its casques are kept or sold as trophies.
