REGUA
Back in July we reported on our progress with extending the restored REGUA wetland. After months of hard work, we were finally able to flood the new area in October, and already wildlife is beginning to move in. This extension - the last of the planned wetland extensions - brings our goal of restoring this very rare ha...bitat one step closer, and the view from the lodge is truly spectacular.

Victoria Lownes Hey, I'll be flying out to Rio at the end of January 2010 to volunteer for 2 months. Would be great to meet up with people in Rio and maybe travel to REGUA together?
Suzanne Hi, I was wondering whether the people there in Feb 2010 were thinking of heading into Rio for the Carnival from Regua for the weekend? Just looking into accomodation and it looks like you have to buy 7 night packages with hostels. Wondered whether anyone had an ideas how to go about doing the carnival for the weekend?
Scott Watson Volunteering at REGUA Feb 1st 2010 for a few months. I see that there are a couple of you who will be there as well. Any serious birders out there?
Louise Fletcher Hi - I'm heading to REGUA on the 8th Nov, I'd love to get in touch with anyone who will be there around that time or will be in Rio de Janeiro over Christmas and new year.

New lizard found for Rio State
In September 2007, a research team based at REGUA found a new species of lizard for Rio State in a small patch of lowland forest partly owned by REGUA, just outside the core reserve. The Slender Anole (Anolis fuscoauratus) is a common species in the Amazon basin but poorly known in the At...lantic Forest (see photo by Davor Vrcibradic). This record represents a large range extension for this species. To read more click here - http://www.regua.co.uk/research/slender_

Our guide Leonardo has recently encountered this rare White-eared Marmoset (Callithrix aurita) in an area of forest adjacent to REGUA. White-eared (also known as Buffy Tufted-ear Marmoset) is sometimes treated as a subspecies of the much more common and introduced Tufted-ear Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and is easily ...distinguished by its white face. White-eared Marmoset is endemic the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and with the forest under continued threat they are now classified as Endangered by the IUCN.Read more
Matt Rickett Hi, I'm planning to go out to regua for a few months at the end of Jan 2010 from Rio. Any advice or if anyone wants to join would be great.
Nick Athanas I've uploaded some shots from my last visit to REGUA in the fan photos section to the lower left part of the page.

Over the last few years, John Feltwell and Alan Martin of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Trust have been busy creating a photographic record of the huge diversity of moths found at REGUA. However, most of the hundreds photographed so far remain unidentified. If you are interested i...n moths and would like to help us identify them then we would love to hear from you.

Sam Woods I will never forget the Blond-crested Woodpecker that came into the lodge garden, or the Cresecent-chested Puffbird that gave itself up so easily. If only I could say the same for Giant Snipe and Shrike-like Cotinga. Will have to get back to REGUA some day seeing as EVERYBODY seems to get them these days!!!! (I just love the fact that they revel in telling me about them too!!!) Sam Woods
Suzanne Hi I'm planning to head out to Regua for a couple of months from San Paulo at the end of Jan 2010 and wondered whether anyone was thinking of doing the same and could travel together? :0)
