Where does Araripe manakin live ?
I am only visible in Brazil.

I am very sensitive to my habitat disturbances and live in a brazilian region where forest is destroyed to make agricultural lands. Successive forest fires have also destroyed many of my precious nests.
Kiwiwho’s word to save the araripe manakin
In 2003, I became the first brazilian bird to benefit from a national conservation plan of action. In 2014, two reserves have been created for me. Thousands of trees should be planted in these zones to reforest.
