301: White-headed marmoset

Marmosets are quite common in southeastern Brazil. You not only find them in the wild, but also high in the trees in city parks. You might meet them at Parque Municipal and Parque Mangabeiras in Belo Horizonte, in the immense Tijuca City Park in Rio de Janeiro, and – as shown here – in the forest of Morro do Convento in Vila Velha. This rock is more than 150 meters high, with the Penha Convent at the top. The convent is easily reached via a tarmac road, or via a stairway exclusive for hikers. During the walk you get a good impression of the vegetation of the Atlantic type jungle. Marmosets feel well at home there. On the picture is a so-called white-headed marmoset, with a curious upward look.

300: Lying in the grass

Brazil is a very beautiful country, many will agree with me. The downside of this beautiful medal is that many Brazilians do not care about the environment. This group leaves its litter negligently on any unused piece of land. For example, green areas and berms are littered with a wide range of waste: plastic, cardboard, metal, glass, pepper, old furniture, old white goods, paint cans, tires, batteries, and much more. The urban waste collectors have much work to clean up this mess, with a limited budget. Nowadays, small projects are being launched to make Brazilians environmentally friendly and to keep their environment clean. The dog in the picture is lying lazily in the grass, which is littered with waste. The grass has almost completely overgrown this waste.
