OUR PROJECTS

Help Buy A Rainforest

Cotton-topped Tamarins are one of the smallest primates in the world.

They are on the verge of extinction

 

 

With as few as 1,000 left in the Wild, Cotton-topped Tamarins are only found in the tropical forests of North West Colombia...   

98% of original forest has been lost in the last 7 years.

The biggest threat to these animals is forest destruction and capture for the pet trade. 

 

 

 Santa Catalina Forest, Colombia, is the last remaining contiguous forest suitable for Cotton-topped Tamarins.

  

The forest is for sale & could be cleared for agriculture at any time.

Buying the 960-acre forest is the only option to secure the future for the Cotton-topped Tamarins.

South Lakes Wild Animal Park through its international charity The Wildlife Protection Foundation want to buy Santa Catalina Forest buying the land means it, and all the Tamarins, will be protected for the future.
