- Abstract
The article presents a study on new distribution limits of Bassaricyon alleni, commonly known as Allen's Olingo. The study provides information on the Allen's Olingo specifically on range, field identification, taxonomy, natural history and conservation threats. The authors claim the lack of information on the Olingo reflects the general lack of data on the biodiversity in the Amazon. The study found that Large-scale development can lead to habitat loss and endanger the nocturnal Olingo and other inhabitants of the Amazon.
