Woodlark Cuscus Phalanger lullulae Palm Oil Detectives

Black-spotted Cuscus Spilocuscus rufoniger Palm Oil Detectives

The black-spotted cuscus Spilocuscus rufoniger is one of the most striking and rare marsupials in the world. Known for their soft fur with irregular black spots on a reddish or cream background, they exemplify the biodiversity of West Papua and Papua New Guinea’s rainforests.
