I am grateful that I had the #EducationPrivilege and respected-enough passport to be able to live a full year in #AricaChile / #SouthAmerica city. Where the grandparents still live in the same house as the #grandchildren and take care of full family. Year 2004.

What is the most unequal country in South America? It depends on what metric you look at

One way to measure income inequality is to look at the share of all income that goes to the top income earners. The chart plots this for all seven South American countries with comparable 2022 pre-tax income estimates in the World Inequality Database.

Pygmy Marmoset Cebuella niveiventris and Cebuella pygmaea

The petite pygmy #marmoset, the world's tiniest true #monkey, boasts a mix of brownish-gold, grey, and tawny fur. These little wonders, weighing just around 100 grams, communicate uniquely using chemical, vocal, and visual cues to ensure group safety and harmony. Although these #marmosets prefer river-edge forests and can adapt to secondary forests, their homes are under serious threat. Rampant #deforestation for #meat, #goldmining, and #palmoil cultivation are eroding their habitats, pushing the subspecies Cebuella niveiventris towards a "Vulnerable" status. The situation is dire, with an estimated 30% reduction in their population in just 18 years. Protect these delicate creatures and their home – use your wallet as a weapon, be #vegan, #BoycottPalmOil, and #Boycott4Wildlife.🌳🐒
