A few years ago, supporters of Proyecto Tití helped us nearly double the size of Los Titíes de San Juan Forest Reserve. Today, restoration is underway in this new protected area—and community members like Salvador Vásquez are helping lead the way by planting trees that reconnect forests for the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin.

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.
