After leaving Guapi Assu Bird Lodge located on the REGUA (Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu) grounds the morning of October 24, 2011, we headed out to look for the Golden Lion Tamarins in a privately owned forest. This endemic primate was very charismatic proving why it is considered to be an icon of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The Golden Lion Tamarin, Leontopithecus rosalia, is also known as the Golden Marmoset. It is a small New World monkey belonging to the Callitrichidae family. Habitat destruction has caused this species to become endangered since only 2% of its original habitat in the lowland Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro State in Brazil remains. Conservation efforts have increased the wild population from 200 in 1983 to approximately 1,600 individuals today. Temperatures were in the 70's on this clear day with blue skies.
