#ForEveryoneToSee: The cover of the issue features a waterbird known as the White-backed Stilt, walking along the edge of a body of water. The bird has black plumage on its back and head, white plumage on its chest, neck, and face, a long, thin black bill, very long pinkish legs, and a small red ring around its eyes. It is leaning forward, with its bill pointing toward the water, in a typical foraging posture. The setting is a sandy, beige-colored shoreline illuminated by natural light. At the bottom of the image, the calm water almost completely reflects the bird, forming a slightly rippled mirror image. The contrast between the earthy background, the black-and-white plumage, and the pinkish legs highlights the animal in the composition. In the upper left corner, in white, the commemorative 15th anniversary seal of the journal is displayed, followed by the title Biodiversidade Brasileira – Scientific Journal. Below it, it reads Year 16, Number 3, 2026. In the upper right corner is the ISSN 2236-2886. Just below the title, a white horizontal line separates the visual identity from the background photograph. Along the lower left side, vertically, appears the photograph credit: Daniel Kantek. In the lower left corner, in large white letters, it reads “Continuous Flow”. In the lower right corner is the logo of ICMBio – Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, in white.
