Conservation Status: Once considered the most endangered primate in the world, Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) of Brazil has experienced a recovery that is a truly amazing story of conservation. A "flagship species" of the Brazilian rainforest, this squirrel sized, firey-orange primate faced what appeared to be certain extinction in the 1970's. Lion Tamarins are among the world's most critically endangered mammals. They are found in that part of Brazil with the densest human population. Their decline was largely due to habitat destruction and until the 1960's they were captured in large numbers for export to zoos, laboratories and the pet trade. At one point, the number of Golden Lion Tamarins in the wild was estimated to be below 100.
