WE NEED YOUR HELP!



Golden lion tamarins (GLTs) are tiny endangered monkeys found only in the
Atlantic Coastal Forest of Southeast Brazil in the state of Rio de Janeiro. At
Save the Golden Lion Tamarin, we work with our partners in Brazil to protect
these monkeys for generations to come.


WHY DO GLTS FACE EXTINCTION?

 * Capture for the pet trade beginning in the 1500’s by the European explorers
   reduced the GLT population to an estimated 200 individuals in the wild by the
   1970s. 

 * Centuries of deforestation reduced the forest habitat of GLTs to only two
   percent of its original area, all in patches too small to support a healthy
   population.

 * Today, cattle pastures, roads, and human development prevent GLTs from
   crossing between the remaining forest patches to find unrelated mates.

 * In 2018, an unprecedented yellow fever epidemic in Southeast Brazil killed
   many people and reduced the GLT population from 3,600 to 2,500.



 




WHO ARE WE, AND WHAT IS OUR GOAL?

Associação Mico-Leão-Dourado (AMLD) is a Brazilian nonprofit established in 1992
that coordinates efforts to save GLTs in their native forest and protect the
benefits that the forest provides to local people. 

Save the Golden Lion Tamarin (SGLT) is a U.S.-based public nonprofit
organization that provides technical and financial support to help Associação
Mico-Leão-Dourado achieve our shared vision of saving GLTs and the habitat they
depend upon for survival.

Our goal is to achieve and maintain at least one viable population of golden
lion tamarins living in their native Atlantic Coastal Forest habitat in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.  Scientists tell us that a viable population is 2,000 golden
lion tamarins living in 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) of connected and
protected forest. 

Today enough forest and enough GLTs still remain, but to reach our goal, more
forest must be connected in one large block. 


WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MEET THESE CHALLENGES?

 * AMLD restores forest corridors connecting isolated patches of forest. From
   1997 to June 2024 AMLD has restored 449 hectares (1,110 acres) of degraded
   pastureland to native Atlantic Forest. 

 * AMLD works with the Brazilian government at all levels to ensure forest
   protection.  All 50,000 hectares (123,550 acres) in AMLD’s geographic scope
   are effectively protected against deforestation by federal and state
   legislation.

 * AMLD engages the local community in forest protection through education and
   building capacity for forest-friendly income. 

 * AMLD is vaccinating GLTs against yellow fever. As of 1-Dec-2023, 448 wild
   individuals have been vaccinated.

 * AMLD monitors the GLT populations. A 2023 census revealed that GLT numbers
   are recovering from losses to yellow fever and GLTs have colonized previously
   unoccupied forest. Today (2023):

 1. The total number of GLTs in AMLD’s scope is estimated at 4,800.  

 2. The largest population of GLTs in reconnected forest is 1,662 - 83% of the
    2,000 needed for long-term viability.
