Cotton-top tamarins are an endangered species of primate found only in the tropical forests of Colombia. Weighing about 1 pound, this tiny monkey needs our help in order to survive. Proyecto Tití is a conservation program that works to study cotton-top tamarins in their tropical forest habitat as well as educating local communities about the need to protect the biodiversity of Colombia. But, to make conservation economically feasible for many local communities, we have developed some innovative strategies to empower local people to get involved and benefit from conservation activities. You too, can help to support the conservation of cotton-top tamarins by learning more about this amazing animal and contributing to our program.

ECO-MOCHILAS
By purchasing eco-mochilas you are helping to generate income for local communities in Colombia that have pledged their support to protect cotton-top tamarins and their habitat. It’s a great way to support the recycling of plastic bags into a useful tote to carry just about everything!
