Vol. 3 No. 1 (2013): Assessment of the Conservation Status of Crocodilians and Carnivores
#AudioDescription: The cover of this issue of the scientific journal BioBrasil – Brazilian Biodiversity highlights the “Evaluation of the Conservation Status of Crocodilians and Carnivores,” with a cover that showcases the richness and diversity of carnivorous species in Brazilian fauna. Against a background of calm waters, cropped images with white borders form a mosaic that visually represents the groups highlighted in the issue. In the lower center of the image, an alligator lurks partially submerged, evoking mystery and vigilance. On the left, a giant otter walks along the riverbank; its dark fur gleams in the light. In the center, a majestic puma (cougar) is detected by a camera trap, advancing through the dense vegetation, while other carnivorous mammals are shown around: a cougar with a fruit in its mouth, a bush dog in pairs, staring at the camera, a mucura or other nocturnal arboreal mammal on a branch and a skunk (skunk) in the middle of the grass. The presence of an adult alligator in the upper right, out of the water, complements the focus on crocodilians, drawing attention to their ecological role and conservation status. At the top of the cover is the logo of the BioBrasil magazine, followed by the subtitle “Biodiversidade Brasileira – Revista Científica”. The logo of ICMBio – Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation with the MMA – Ministry of the Environment brand appears in the lower left corner. At the bottom you can read the title of the edition: “Thematic Issue: Assessment of the Conservation Status of Crocodilians | Assessment of the Conservation Status of Carnivores Year 3 – Issue 1 – 2013”.
