Description

The perumammals logo is a hexagonal badge featuring a vibrant composition that celebrates Peru's extraordinary mammalian diversity across its diverse ecoregions. The artwork showcases iconic Peruvian mammals.

Featured Species and Elements

Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus)

The centerpiece features Peru's only bear species, an Andean endemic and national symbol of conservation, representing the Yungas and cloud forest ecosystems.

Bat (Chiroptera)

Representing the incredible diversity of Neotropical bats found in Peru's lowland and montane forests, one of the most species-rich mammalian orders in the country.

Small Rodent

Depicting the often-overlooked micromammals that constitute a significant portion of Peru's mammalian biodiversity, particularly in grassland and scrub ecoregions.

Andean Bromeliad (Puya)

A striking red-orange flowering plant native to high-elevation ecosystems, symbolizing the unique flora-fauna relationships in Peruvian montane habitats.

Design Elements

The hexagonal design with teal borders and light blue background creates a modern, scientific aesthetic while the vertical "PERUMAMMALS" text establishes clear package identity. The composition balances charismatic megafauna with lesser-known taxa, reflecting the package's comprehensive approach to documenting all 573+ mammal species recorded in Peru across 10 distinct ecoregions.
