The pied tamarin, one of the world’s most critically endangered primates, is facing serious threats as the Brazilian government plans to expand the city of Manaus. These adorable monkeys, recognizable by their distinct black and white faces, are now confined to shrinking patches of forest due to urban sprawl, making them vulnerable to road accidents and habitat loss. With only about 22,000 left in the wild, the survival of the pied tamarin is hanging by a thread.

We need your help! Sign this petition urging Ibama and ICMBio, Brazil’s primary federal environmental agencies, to prioritize the protection of the pied tamarin in Manaus’ urban planning policies.

Local conservationists are advocating for the inclusion of green spaces in the city to help ensure the survival of these remarkable monkeys. These dedicated individuals are true heroes, championing wildlife Conservation and demonstrating that sustainable urban planning can make a real difference for endangered species.

If the government enforces policies that protect the pied tamarin as part of Manaus’ development, it won’t just save this precious monkey; it will also improve the quality of life for all city residents by creating greener, more sustainable neighborhoods.

This is not just about saving a species; it’s about maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystem.
