Pontal do Paranapanema – April 24, 2022
This photo of the Pontal do Paranapanema State Reserve (also known as the Great Pontal Reserve) in São Paulo, Brazil was taken by an International Space Station astronaut on December 7, 2021. In 1970, the thought-to-be extinct black tamarin was rediscovered in Pontal do Paranapanema. Over the following years, efforts were made by scientists to preserve the habitat and population of the black lion tamarin with the help of local farming communities.
