Balantiopteryx infusca is only known from two locations in Ecuador: Cachabí and Lita, and there hasn't been done either scientific or conservation work in both sites. The Lita tunnels are no longer functional for rail traffic, however, ecotourism activities and pedestrian traffic could be affecting the welfare of this population. It is imperative to declare the Lita tunnels as an Important Area for Bat Conservation.

Guarajuba (Terminalia acuminata), is one out of three Brazilian plants declared Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN Red List. Rediscovered in 2015, this distinctive tree survives as several discrete subpopulations within the city of Rio de Janeiro. While the rediscovery gives cause for optimism, the extant population is in urgent need of research and evidence-based action to save it from the brink of extinction.
