#Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, is facing severe threats due to deforestation and habitat fragmentation. This has led to a sharp decline in primate species, including the critically endangered southern and northern muriqui. The loss of these #primates, essential for seed dispersers in the Atlantic forest, is further destabilising the forest ecosystem. As human-driven deforestation escalates, the #extinction debt continues to rise, endangering both wildlife and the forest itself. You can take action to help their survival.

The Golden-Maned Lion Tamarin faces a battle for survival, with threats from habitat loss, particularly due to palm oil deforestation, the illegal pet trade, predation, disease, and climate change. These majestic creatures, with their striking golden manes and vibrant personalities, are teetering on the brink due to the relentless destruction of their home. But there’s hope, and it starts with us. By choosing to #BoycottPalmOil, supporting the #Boycott4Wildlife movement, and embracing a #Vegan lifestyle, we can make a profound impact.

Black-faced Lion Tamarin Leontopithecus caissara
The black-faced lion #tamarin Leontopithecus caissara, also known as the Superagüi lion tamarin, is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. With a total population of fewer than 400 individuals and a fragmented, low-lying coastal habitat of #Brazil, this species is on the edge of extinction. Threats include logging, the illegal #pettrade, palm oil, #soy and #meat deforestation and urban expansion. Conservation efforts have begun, but there is still enormous work to do to protect these irreplaceable #primates. Protect this rare and charismatic #primate by taking urgent action. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife #Vegan
Pied Tamarin Saguinus bicolor
Pied #Tamarins are fascinating and vibrant black-faced #monkeys with a shock of white fur around their muzzle and chest and expressive brown eyes. They are found only in the shrinking forests of Manaus, #Brazil. As bulldozers carve roads and cities sprawl, their home is being destroyed for #palmoil, #soy, #beef farming, #gold #mining, and relentless urban expansion. These tamarins also face threats from disease, predators, and the illegal pet trade. Use your wallet as a weapon and BoycottPalmOil, Boycott4Wildlife, BoycottGold4Yanomami, and be #Vegan to help their survival.

Known for the characterful head crests giving adults a plucky and “punk” look, the Cotton Top #Tamarin, also known as the Cotton-headed Tamarin is a diminuitive #monkey living in the humid forests in the south to dry deciduous forest in the north of #Colombia. They are now critically endangered and face multiple serious threats from capture for primate experiments, to the illegal pet trade and deforestation for palm oil, soy, meat deforestation and the cultivation of ilicit coca.
