The Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) is endemic to the lowland Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro state and one of the most endangered primate species on earth. The Golden Lion Tamarin Association works to protect this beautiful monkey and its habitat by stimulating creation of private reserves, re-introduction of zoo-bred animals, restoring ecological corridors and environmental education. Visit the Poço das Antas Biological Reserve Education center, learn about conservation in the area and proceed to nearby farms with private forest reserve to see the Tamarins roaming free.
