John,

Here's some good news: we have the chance to buy and protect vital forest
in Brazil that is also the only home of the golden-headed lion tamarin.

Fewer than 2500 of these cute, tiny monkeys are left in the wild – and
their population is quickly shrinking. Already, 90% of their forest home
has been demolished. Even as I write this, bulldozers are tearing down
more forest to make industrial-sized cattle ranches and crop fields.  

But by working alongside local scientists and Indigenous communities, we
can help start saving them...by buying a crucial piece of land to reforest
and protect, forever! 

The brilliance of their plan is that locals are leading a solution that
will empower communities to make a living helping protect and revive
native forest – it's what these rare golden monkeys so desperately need to
survive. If just 5000 of us chip in the value of $5 or more, we would have
enough to send them the cash they need. Can you chip in to help?

Widespread forest destruction has decimated Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Once
a sprawling 350 million acres, the forest is now just a tenth of its
original size. What remains are patches of rainforest, separated by vast
areas of deforested land that have been cleared for cattle ranching and
industrial farming.

For the tiny golden-headed lion tamarins, this has almost pushed them into
extinction. The few that are left are clinging to survival in the old
growth trees that remain intact. But they are critical to the ecosystem
and if they vanish completely, scientists worry it could have a
devastating knock-on effect on the rest of the forest and wildlife there.

But local scientists are excited and hopeful: if they can save the
remaining forest and start to rebuild wildlife corridors, these endangered
tamarins, not to mention other species as well, can recover! 

All they need now is an infusion of cash - and we can make it happen, with
your help.

John, can you chip in now to help save this rare tamarin–
and protect their forest home, forever?
