Conservation Actions for the Black-faced Lion Tamarin

Bringing together popular and scientific knowledge stands as one of the most valuable aspects of this initiative. This approach not only empowers local residents who possess indigenous knowledge about the black-faced lion tamarin and its habitat but also fosters scientific advancements. Together, these efforts contribute significantly to the conservation of this unique and exceptionally rare species.

For government bodies or supporters of the Program, engagement offers the opportunity to forge partnerships, both offering and receiving support for a range of activities dedicated to local biodiversity conservation. Research institutions, in particular, serve as crucial allies, leveraging their expertise to deepen our understanding of the species—still relatively understudied—through direct observation and by fostering collaborative relationships with local communities.

Partners can leverage the charismatic appeal of the black-faced lion tamarin in their institutional communication campaigns. Integrating its image into such initiatives can effectively support nature conservation education efforts, fostering awareness among various stakeholders including children, youth, employees, suppliers, and other partners.

Your company or institution's brand can be prominently featured as a protector of this species and its limited habitat, gaining visibility across SPVS and Program channels (see partnership forms for details). Developing digital and offline media content, and enhancing social and environmental responsibility reports are additional strategies that can resonate with society and your company's target audience. Moreover, as a funder, your organization's investment directly supports educational activities conducted in communities neighboring the black-faced lion tamarin's habitat.
