The Great Monkey Rescue: Saving the Golden Lion Tamarins

The Great Monkey Rescue: Saving the Golden Lion Tamarins follows scientists as they investigate why golden lion tamarins fail to reproduce in zoos and test whether zoo-raised monkeys can survive when returned to the wild. Set in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, the book shows how deforestation nearly wiped out the species and how researchers are working together to build a forest corridor that connects isolated patches. It also explains the mysteries surrounding the monkeys' behavior and the strategies used to monitor and protect the growing population.
