EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Rene Primevere Lesson's Complements de Buffon captures the beauty of two unique and critically endangered species - the Feathertail glider, Acrobates pygmaeus, and the Talaud bear cuscus, Ailurops melanotis. The intricate details in this illustration bring these animals to life on paper, showcasing their delicate features and distinctive characteristics.
The Feathertail glider is known for its remarkable ability to glide through the air with ease, thanks to its feather-like tail that acts as a rudder. This tiny marsupial is a true acrobat of the animal kingdom, effortlessly navigating its way through dense forests in search of food and shelter.
On the other hand, the Talaud bear cuscus is a rare sight in the wild due to habitat loss and hunting pressures. With its fluffy fur and gentle demeanor, this arboreal creature relies on trees for safety and sustenance, making it vulnerable to human activities that threaten its survival.
As we admire this historical print from 1838, let us remember the importance of conservation efforts to protect these precious species for future generations. Each brushstroke on this engraving serves as a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard biodiversity and preserve our natural world.
