In Colombia’s Montes de María region, farmers are transforming their lands into living wildlife corridors and open-air laboratories—working alongside conservation partners to monitor forest regeneration, document the return of primates, birds, and wild cats, and lead a powerful community-driven effort to reconnect and restore the tropical dry forest.

Celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re proud to spotlight Claribeth and the remarkable women of Proyecto Tití who are leading conservation efforts in Colombia’s tropical dry forest. Through science, dedication, and careful observation, they play a vital role in protecting the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin and its forest home.

This year, I had the joy of welcoming a group of my long-time friends from Wisconsin and beyond to Colombia for an unforgettable visit to Proyecto Tití. Together, we journeyed into the heart of cotton-top tamarin country, where they experienced firsthand the conservation work and community partnerships that have shaped Proyecto Tití for so many years.

TITÍCUENTO, the second module of TITÍ SHOW, uses Colombia’s rich oral storytelling traditions to connect culture and conservation, inspiring children and families to protect the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin. Through the story of Lucho and a call to become SalvaTitíes, the program transforms conservation into a personal and hopeful journey that encourages audiences to take action for wildlife and forests.
