Araripe manakin

As typical of most manakins, males and females have a strong sexual dimorphism in the colors of the plumage. As in the Helmeted Manakin, it is a relatively large and long-tailed manakin, with a total length of c. 14.5 centimetres. The strikingly patterned males have a predominantely white plumage. With the exception of the white wing coverts, the wings are black as the tail. From the frontal tuft, over the crown, down to the middle back runs a carmine red patch. The iris is red. The females are mainly olive green and have pale green upperparts. They have a reduced olive green frontal tuft.

The Araripe manakin is classified as Critically Endangered (CR), facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.

The Araripe Manakin (Antilophia bokermanni) is a critically endangered bird from the family of Manakins (Pipridae). It was discovered in 1996 and scientifically described in 1998. The species epithet commemorates Brazilian zoologist and wildlife filmmaker Werner Bokermann, who died in 1995. Because of its helmet-like crown it has received the Portuguese name soldadinho-do-araripe which means "Little soldier of Araripe". This name also associates it with the related, but more widespread, Helmeted Manakin (Antilophia galeata) , which is known simply as the soldadinho. More

forest habitat of the Araripe Manakin have shown an average reduction of three quarters in their outflow over the past hundred years, possibly due to deforestation on the slopes and plateau of the Chapada do Araripe, posing a long-term threat to the manakin's remaining habitat. Diversion, channelling and piping of the springs and streams are also reducing the area of available gallery forest habitat6. The species is not known to be trapped either by wildlife traders or by the local population for pets6. More

The Araripe Manakin is endemic to a very small ribbon of forest at the foot of the Chapada do Araripe escarpment. It seems particularly fond of the moist forest near the streams and springs that flow out of the escarpment. More

1998, the Araripe Manakin is at risk of making an exit as sudden as its entrance into the annals of the world's birds. A survey in 2006 led to an estimate of only 800 individuals, all confined to an area of moist forest less than 28 km2 in extent on the north-eastern slope of the Chapada do Araripe, south Ceara, Brazil. The Species Guardian for the Araripe Manakin is the Brazilian conservation organization, Aquasis. More

The call of the Araripe Manakin, a delicate, redcrested songbird, was heard for the first time in 1998, on the slopes of a remote plateau in northeastern Brazil. The excitement felt by the group of conservationists who discovered it was short-lived: they quickly realized that if something wasn't done, they might end up being both the first and the last humans to hear it. Despite their efforts over the past eight years, the Manakin - Antilophia bokermanii - remains one of Brazil's (and the world's) most endangered birds. More
