Monkey pot trees for the Reserva Kinkajou

Our partner Pedro Mendez Tam collects the seeds of monkey pot trees for planting on the Reserva Kinkajou. The seeds are very popular with several animals – last year, the seeds collected for the tree nursery fell victim to animal theft twice, first by a squirrel and then by a coati. In our project, they are actually intended to benefit the greater soldier macaws, which can crack the hard shells containing several seeds thanks to their powerful beaks.
