Cotton-top tamarins are one of the most endangered primates in the world. They are only found in the forests of northern Colombia, where Proyecto Tití (PT) defends this distinctive monkey from habitat loss caused by cattle ranching, agriculture, and urban development. PT’s reforestation program plants new tree saplings every year to rebuild vital forest corridors for cotton-tops. In the last decade, PT has helped create over 13,000 acres of protected forest and conducted extensive research on cotton-top social behavior. They also are highly involved in local communities to develop sustainable sources of income and teach children to value this unique species.
