So, I won't talk about deforestation, much like . I won't really delve into how discoveries like this newfound "gecko-bat" species wouldn't be possible anymore, if forests disappear. Also, I won't say anything more about cultural significance and indigenous people, nor relevance for medicine (Mark Plotkin's (wiki) quote "every time a shaman dies, it is as if a library burned down", see also (2), (3)).
I actually just thought it would be nice to store this photo somewhere.
So here you go.
(1): Source of pic: Got it from Carla, on FB: link here.
(2): Shamanism, By: Mark Andrew Ritchie. I use it as a source of the quote. Found by google.
(3): This book seems interesting: Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice: An Ethnobotanist Searches for New Medicines in the Amazon Rain Forest; Mark Plotkin (Amazon).
(4): This one is also actually pretty scary/cool: face on the side of the tree trunk.
