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! |
