IPÊ Black Lion Tamarin Conservation Program completes 40 years with translocation underway

Thirty kilometers separate the estimated main population of 1,200 black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) in the Morro do Diabo State Park in the West of São Paulo from the new home for five of them, a forest fragment in a Legal Reserve area, also in the Pontal do Paranapanema region. The goal? To increase the chances that the local population of the forest fragment, which has fewer than 20 individuals, will continue to exist in the medium and long term. https://ipe.org.br/en/news/ipe-black-... https://ipe.org.br/en/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
