When we visit local communities to implement our education programs, we always reinforce one powerful idea: everyone — children, teens, and adults — can do something to help cotton-top tamarins and become Forest Guardians. And the most beautiful part is that this isn’t just a message… it’s real.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the power of women’s leadership—and two extraordinary women whose dedication has helped protect forests, inspire communities, and safeguard a future for the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin.

At Proyecto Tití, we believe education transforms hearts — and when hearts change, cotton-top tamarins have hope.

In 2024, we launched an ambitious Mega Corridor project to reconnect forests between Los Tities de San Juan in Bolívar and the Coraza Nature Reserve in Sucre, expanding habitat for the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin while strengthening local livelihoods. Beginning with twelve Tití Guardian women who cultivated more than 12,000 native seedlings and continuing with 32 farmers dedicating land to restoration, this initiative is building a living bridge where conservation and community grow together.

At Proyecto Tití, our mission is to protect cotton-top tamarins and the tropical dry forest—but we also believe that every animal matters. Over the years, we have adopted many abandoned dogs found near Los Tities de San Juan Forest Reserve, giving them a safe home, veterinary care, and lots of love.
