January 1, 2019 - This New Year, Oscar Ribiero presents a new chapter in his ongoing series of the flora, fauna, architecture and people of Brazil. In Subchapter 12, Oscar visits the town of Mucug� in the mountains of the Chapada Diamantina. "The exuberant flora is highly endemic and adaptive," he writes, "orchids, cactus and bromeliads thrive and harmonically share the same space. A feast for the eye!" Here you will find photographs of Sincoraea mucugense, a striking bromeliad found nowhere else. With a nod to the history of this place, Oscar has included pictures of the Cemetery of Santa Isabel, whose dramatic and pristine white mausoleums invoke the architecture of churches. The Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies thanks Oscar for sharing his continuing journey through the landscape of Brazil, sharing its unique treasures and histories with the world.

January 1, 2018 - New Year 2018 brings the latest installment in Oscar Ribiero's journeys through Brazil's Chapada Diamantina, documenting the human history, tragedies, and triumphs of nature. Chapada Velha, now abandoned, was the scene of such violent drama during the height of diamond mining as military forces took over the area in a quest to secure its native wealth. Oscar's evocative black and white photographs stand as haunting testament to this long forgotten area. Andara�, Oscar's chosen gateway to the Chapada Diamantina, is represented through videos and photographs of the lush flora and fauna of this area. Igatu, another area of ghostly memories, has pictures of wonderful architecture in addition to those the wildlife and flora. Start your New Year by enjoying this view of other worlds by our friend Oscar.

January 1, 2017 - This New Year's Day, journey to the extraordinary Chapada Diamantina area of Brazil, the habitat of Orthophytum amoenum, hatsbachii, mucugense, ophiuroides, heleniceae, lemei, Aechmea, Encholirium, Hohenbergia, Neoglaziovia, Neoregelia, Vriesea. Oscar Ribeiro, of Bromeliario Imperialis, continues his annual contribution to the Florida Council website as he places bromeliads in context of their native habitat, alongside flora, fauna and man. Soar to amazing heights in videos that give you a bird's eye view of dramatic landscapes. Visit towns with classic architecture and buildings painted in vibrant colors. Marvel at photographs of birds and critters that inhabit the land. Most of all, it's the bromeliads in habitat - pictures of our beloved plants living in places we can only see through Oscar's brilliant photography.

This chapter, comprising approximately three hundred pictures, joins Oscar's previous articles and chapters that are available on the Council site under Bromeliad Habitats.

Thank you, Oscar Ribeiro. Happy New Year!

January 1, 2016 - New Year's Day brings to fcbs.org the premier of Oscar Ribeiro's latest chapter in his ongoing series about bromeliads, their Brazilian environment, and the perils to the environment, both to plants and people. This annual gift by Oscar to the Council and its web readers not only showcases magnificent ecosystems and the diversity of the plants that occupy those spaces, but also illustrate in uncompromising terms the impact of man on land as well as the beauty of the architecture created by man.

This chapter revisits the neighborhood of Jacobina - up to 150 kms - where Oscar found bromeliad species he had never seen before in their habitats. He reports possible new species, pending confirmation! Over two hundred breathtaking pictures accompany this latest installment in Oscar's journey into the land of bromeliads, its past, its present and its future.

January 1, 2014 - New Year's Day premiers Oscar Ribeiro's newest chapter of his ongoing series about bromeliads, their Brazilian environment, and the perils to the environment to both plant and people. This continuing work by Oscar not only showcases magnificent ecosystems and the diversity of the plants that occupy those spaces, but also illustrate in uncompromising terms the impact of man on land as well as the beauty of the architecture created by man. This latest installment features the "extravagant landscape and diversity of biomes of the area surrounding Jacobina." Indeed, see for the first time, pictures of a newly discovered Hohenbergia lativaginata. "Prepare your heart," Oscar writes, "for the photos of the population of Orthophytum navioides, THE most amazing I have ever seen in nature!"

Hundreds of pictures accompany this installment, of brilliant, amazing, stunning ecosystems, flora, fauna and the work of man. Oscar's camera opens perspectives and views unseen by most of us, enriching our understanding of these enchanted lands.

The Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies thanks Oscar Ribeiro for his unstinting generosity in sharing this continuing story.

Chapter 9 consists of five pages

You can find this latest chapter as well as Chapters 1 - 8 on the Bromeliad Habitats page

January 1, 2013 - We are pleased to present the next chapter in Oscar Ribeiro's ongoing project on bromeliads and their habitats and human communities in Brazil. Chapter 8 retraces Mulford Foster's steps in Bahia, Brazil, as memorialized in Brazil, Orchid of the Tropics (1945). The photographs are stunning and show bromeliads in habitat as well as other flora and fauna and human habitation in this region. Here you will gain an understanding of the geography and human habitat as well as the pressures these regions are experiencing

Chapter 8 consists of four pages.

The first ever photographs of Orthophytum navioides in habitat can be be found in Part I - Jacobina

You can find this latest chapter as well as Chapters 1 - 7 on the Bromeliad Habitats page

January 1, 2012 - We are pleased to start the New Year once again by presenting a new chapter on the Cadeia do Espinha�o by Oscar Ribeiro. This is Chapter 7 in the series and covers the S�o Gon�alo do Rio das Pedras. To quote from Oscar's article,
"The decision to dedicate chapter 7 to S�o Gon�alo do Rio das Pedras is a tribute to its spectacular scenery and diversity. It is the habitat of many species of bromeliads, orchids and cactii of splendorous forms and exquisite colors."
Approximately 170 photographs will take you on a journey to a region where you will see saxicolic growth habitat that blows the mind.
Chapter 7 - S�o Gon�alo do Rio das Pedras

January 1, 2011 - Oscar Ribeiro presents a new chapter as his ongoing gift to our bromeliad family on this first day of 2011. Oscar writes about the lands from which bromeliads come, with a keen eye towards preservation, the environment and the true cost of progress in our 21st century world. His fantastic pictures explore not only the bromeliad habitat but the human habitat as well. Not only will you regard the Eucalyptus industry with more educated eyes, you will also be amazed at the resourcefulness of people in lands with few resources and no government support either for people or for the conservation and preservation of the environmental treasures of these regions. This is the last chapter covering the Espinha�o Range in the state of Minas Gerais. Next chapters will cover Bahia, with emphasis to the magic Chapada Diamantina. "Prepare your heart!"
Chapter 6 - Parque Nacional das Sempre-Vivas
Part 1 - National Park Sempre Vivas - Flora
Part 2 - Eucalyptus versus Biodiversity
Part 3 - Fazenda Buritis
