Bajo cuidado humano, el récord de longevidad de un tití cabeciblanco es, asombrosamente, de 24 años. Pero ¿qué ocurre en estado silvestre, donde la vida se desarrolla en un dinámico bosque tropical? Gracias a casi tres décadas de investigación en medio silvestre, el Proyecto Tití está comenzando a responder a esta pregunta, un tití cabeciblanco a la vez.

Big things are growing at Proyecto Tití! A brand-new, solar-powered tree nursery is helping us take an important step forward in restoring forests and protecting the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin.

As Proyecto Tití restores tropical dry forest, the landscape begins to change in exciting ways. Native trees grow, habitat expands, and more wildlife returns—including top predators like the puma. With creativity, technology, and strong community partnerships, we’re showing that coexistence is not only possible—it’s already happening.

In managed care, the lifespan record for a tiny 1 pound, cotton-top tamarin is an astonishing 24 years. But what about in the wild, where life unfolds in a dynamic tropical forest? Thanks to nearly three decades of long-term research, Proyecto Tití is beginning to answer that question—one remarkable tamarin at a time.

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.
