What happens when animals return to Rio’s largest urban park? | WILD HOPE

In the middle of Rio de Janeiro sits the world’s largest urban rainforest: Tijuca National park. To combat a century of deforestation and hunting, a team of researchers are repairing the forest’s forgotten web of life, one species at a time.
Trees and habitat are often the focal point of any conservation strategy, but here in Brazil, the missing link to a thriving forest is the animals. After withstanding a century of deforestation and hunting, Tijuca is incomplete without its animals and needs researchers to identify what’s missing in the secret web of life. From a canopy of swinging howler monkeys to the nut-cracking jaws of the lovable agouti, researchers are using breakthrough science to bring fauna back. New seedlings are one of many signs that the reintroductions are working, restoring the forest to its full potential and reconnecting the life-sustaining bonds between plants and animals.

What a precious place, imageine having a rainforest (a real, decently large actual forest, not a park!) inside a city... Urban rewilding is something dear to my heart, so this was a treat :D Love this series!

Would be helpful if the on screen translation subtitles were bigger, watching YT on a phone they were pretty small and hard to read. Really great video though, I loved it!

[@mariadelosangelespacheco2812]

Pongan traducción al castellano. Gracias
