Brazil's National Symbol Is Disappearing in the Wild | These furry fellows are golden lion tamarins at Santa Ana Zoo. Native to the southeastern coastal forests of Brazil, their signature feature is a silky, gold coat and long mane. In the 1970s, only a couple hundred tamarins were left in the wild due to habitat loss and the pet trade. Today, conservation efforts have been in effect around the world to support their populations. | | The Band Bringing Venezuela's Best Dance Party to the World | El Clavo is a small village in Venezuela with a proud musical heritage. There, Afro-Venezuelans—many of whom are descendants of slaves brought from Africa—continue a cultural tradition known as "parranda." Part community jam session, part dance party, parranda is a festive performance that involves rhythmic percussion and singing. | | | | | |
