On the morning of May 19 I heard noise outside the hotel so I went out to find a small group of collared peccaries looking for breakfast.
Monteverde, Costa Rica.

The Chacoan #peccary is very unique – the last survivor of an entire megafauna lineage – and it only occurs in the #GranChaco (more here: http://www.edgeofexistence.org/species/chacoan-peccary/ #EDGE).
Multiple #extinction drivers interact to drive the loss of the #Chacoan #peccary. New paper in Diversity & Distribution by Ricardo Torres and team shows that #hunting is the main pressure on peccaries, despite rampant #deforestation. https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13701 @BiogeoBerlin
