Golden Lion Tamarins Were Almost Extinct But Populations Are Recovering Due To Conservation Efforts in Disease Control and Reforestation

Brazil’s golden monkeys are still endangered but populations have risen from 200 to over 4,500 animals in the wild. Rising populations can be attributed to conservation programs supporting scientist intervention in vaccinating over 300 monkeys against yellow fever and supporting farmers in reforesting converted cattle pastures.
