Threats and Conservation

The Atlantic Forest once housed thousands of species, but the destruction of its natural habitat put the golden lion tamarin in critical danger of extinction in the 1970s. Thanks to the joint efforts of organizations like the Golden Lion Tamarin Association, the population of these primates has increased from about 200 individuals to over 3,000 today.


Ecological Role

Beyond their natural charm, golden lion tamarins play a crucial role in seed dispersal, aiding forest regeneration. Their presence is a vital indicator of environmental health.
