The Great Monkey Rescue
Golden lion tamarins are found only in Brazilian forests. These small, remarkable monkeys once had plenty of space to roam and claim family territories. But years of deforestation caused their numbers to shrink. They were in serious danger of becoming extinct. To help, scientists studied the animals in zoo settings. But they faced several mysteries. Why weren't golden lion tamarins reproducing in zoos? If scientists reintroduced zoo-raised tamarins to the wild, would those monkeys survive? And how could scientists give tamarins enough forest area for the population to grow? Find out how scientists and concerned citizens worked together to give golden lion tamarins a hopeful future.
The Golden Lion Tamarin Comes Home
The story of the reintroduction into the wild of golden lion tamarins born in captivity.
Golden Lion Tamarin
The small golden lion tamarin is known for its brownish-red mane, long tail, and territorial nature. Readers will learn about these creatures and how destruction of their coastal forest habitat almost led to their extinction. Find out how zoos and conservationists have collaborated to save the golden lion tamarin.
Lion Tamarins
Contributors to this work have played major roles in preservation of lion tamarins and other endangered species. They review the history and framework of research and conservation for four species of lion tamarins, and report on studies that have played a part in contributing to the management of the species in captivity and in the wild. They describe direct interventions to conserve wild populations and their habitats, and look at future directions and challenges in lion tamarin conservation. B & w photos of reintroduction efforts are included. Kleiman is affiliated with the Smithsonian National Zoological Park; Rylands is with the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science.

Uma História De Conservação
Este livro é, sobretudo, uma provocação. Foi pensado para contar a história de uma espécie que se tornou um símbolo de resistência e conservação da biodiversidade no mundo. O trabalho não teve a ambição de esgotar o assunto, mas se conseguir levar o leitor a refletir sobre o papel do homem ao lidar com a natureza que o circunda e sobre a complexidade da tentativa de resgatar uma especie do risco de extinção, a provocação terá valido a pena.
Primates
This conference represents the first time in my life when I felt it was a misfor tune, rather than a major cause of my happiness, that I do conservation work in New Guinea. Yes, it is true that New Guinea is a fascinating microcosm, it has fascinating birds and people, and it has large expanses of undisturbed rainforest. In the course of my work there, helping the Indonesian government and World Wildlife Fund set up a comprehensive national park system, I have been able to study animals in areas without any human population. But New Guinea has one serious drawback: it has no primates, except for humans. Thus, I come to this conference on primate conservation as an underprivileged and emotion...
Adaptive Radiations of Neotropical Primates
Twenty-nine proceedings papers from the February 1995 symposium offering the results of studies which review primate evolution and ecology. The researchers introduce Platyrrhines, their systematics and geographic distributions, raise problematic issues relevant to the four subfamilies, identify dist
Thirteen Gold Monkeys
"This is a story of the early days of the reintroduction of zoo-born golden lion tamarin monkeys to the coastal rainforest of Brazil. ... The characters, and their personalities and experiences, are fictional but loosely based on those who actually took part in the work. ... the experiences of dozens of monkeys may have been combined into those of 13 individuals that were born in North American zoos and reintroduced to the wild in Brazil in the course of this story."--Preface.
