Comum no passa<strong>do</strong>, a maior parte <strong>de</strong> seu ambiente<br />

foi <strong>de</strong>smatada nos últimos séculos e hoje só existe em<br />

áreas protegidas. Além <strong>do</strong> <strong>de</strong>smatamento, é ameaçada<br />

ranapiacaba • Po<strong>de</strong> ser vista em palmiteiros, à beira<br />

<strong>de</strong> estradas em unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> conservação. Os parques<br />

Intervales, Carlos Botelho, Turístico <strong>do</strong> Alto <strong>do</strong> Ribeira<br />

e Ilhabela são os principais redutos da espécie. Na<br />

Serra <strong>do</strong> Mar talvez faça migrações altitudinais, isto é,<br />

This species lives in well-preserved forest and<br />

near by brushland in groups of up to six, which will<br />

spend most of the time walking among the branches<br />

or flying in short bursts. It eats wild fruit and insects.<br />

It nests high in the trees and chicks hatch already<br />

able to follow their parents wherever they go.<br />

Once abundant, most of this now threatened species’<br />

habitat has been <strong>de</strong>stroyed by <strong>de</strong>forestation. With the<br />

ad<strong>de</strong>d pressure of intense hunting, the Black-fronted<br />

Piping-guan is now only found in protected areas.<br />

Points of interest about the species in the Mar and<br />

Paranapiacaba mountain ranges • In protected areas,<br />

it can be seen in palm trees along the roadsi<strong>de</strong>. The<br />

Intervales, Carlos Botelho, Turístico <strong>do</strong> Alto <strong>do</strong> Ribeira<br />

and Ilhabela parks are its main havens. In Serra <strong>do</strong> Mar,<br />

the species may migrate from higher to lower altitu<strong>de</strong>s,<br />

according to the fructification of certain plants.<br />

À beira da extinção • Alvo predileto <strong>do</strong>s caça<strong>do</strong>res<br />

por sua carne, a jacutinga é tão mansa que<br />

On the brink of extinction • A favorite target for<br />

hunters because of its meat, the Black-fronted<br />

Piping-guan is so tame that whole flocks can be<br />

<strong>de</strong>cimated at a stroke. Naturally rare, its survival<br />

<strong>de</strong>pends on ample swathes of protected forest.<br />
