The Golden Lion Tamarin and the Golden-headed Lion Tamarin are both listed as “Endangered” in the IUCN Red List, and the Black Lion Tamarin and the Black-faced Lion Tamarin as Critically Endangered. Deforestation, hunting and commerce have caused their Lion Tamarin populations to decline drastically over the last half century, bringing at least the Golden Lion Tamarin close to extinction in the late 1960’s. National and international efforts, including captive breeding, turned this halted this decline and saved the species from going extinct in the wild. Current population estimates are ~1.400 Golden Lion Tamarins (GLTs), 6.000-15.000 Golden-headed Lion Tamarins (GHLTs), ~1.500 Black Lion Tamarins (BLTs) and ~350 Black-faced Lion Tamarins (BFLTs). Populations of the GLT and BLT are highly fragmented with a majority of animals in protected areas (Poço das Antas and União Biological Reserves in the state of Rio de Janeiro and Morro do Diabo State Park in the state of São Paulo, respectively). Both species have been supported by reintroduction and translocation programmes, and known populations are monitored closely. Less fragmented is the population of GHLTs, located in and around Una Biological Reserve in the state of Bahia. The distribution and status of the BFLTs are less well known due to the fact that they were only discovered in 1990. However, the majority obviously exist in the protected Superaguï National Park in Paraná State. Recently the species was also discovered on the mainland, and surveys have been initiated to identify the distribution of that population. All four species are currently the subject of intensive conservation programmes that, depending on the species, have included scientific global management of captive populations (GLT, GHLT and BLT), studies on the ecology, behaviour and genetics of wild populations (all species), translocation of threatened wild groups (GLT, BLT), habitat restoration (GLT, GHLT and BLT), local conservation education programmes (all species) and reintroduction of captive born individuals to natural forest (GLT and BLT). Since 1991, all captive populations of Lion Tamarins belong are owned by the Brazilian Government (IBAMA). Since, 2000 a single International Committee for Conservation and Management (ICCM) covering all four species advices the Brazilian government (IBAMA) on the research and conservation activities for the four species. This committee was preceded by management committees for each species, initiated in the early 1990’s. The present captive population counts 450 GLTs, 524 GHLTs and 82 BLTs worldwide. This is the third PHVA for Lion Tamarins. The first, held in 1990, was organised jointly by the Fundacão Biodiversitas, Belo Horizonte, and CBSG (Seal, U., Ballou, J.D. and Padua, C.V. 1990). The workshop served to focus the community of researchers, conservation biologists, reserve managers and administrators, and educators on the numerous conservation problems facing Lion Tamarins. The workshop resulted in the development of recovery plans and the establishment of the first formal Brazilian International Recovery and Management Committees (IRMC) for the 4 species of Lion Tamarins. By 1996, most of the action items in the first action plan had been implemented, and a second PHVA workshop was conducted in 1997 upon the recommendations of the four IRMCs during their 1996 annual meetings in Brazil (Ballou, J.D., Lacy, R.C., Kleiman, D., Rylands, A & Ellis, S. 1998). The PHVA was preceded by a Lion Tamarin symposium which integrated and synthesized all of the current information on the 4 species’ biology and the history of their conservation (Kleiman, D.G. and Rylands, A.B., 2002). Once again, Fundacão Biodiversitas offered to host the workshop in Belo Horizonte, and CBSG volunteered to facilitate. The objectives of this second PHVA were to evaluate the current status and threats facing the Lion Tamarin species, and recommend and set priorities for conservation strategies to address existing problems. The workshop resulted in a new conservation action plan for the four species of Lion Tamarins. The recommendations from the workshop focused on three fundamental issues: • Conservation of Lion Tamarins must proceed within a metapopulation context, including the captive populations where such are available, to maximize both the viability of Lion Tamarin populations and the conservation of habitat. • Existing protected areas need to be maximally utilized, managed and safeguarded, with threats removed where they exist. • Viable Lion Tamarin populations must be reconciled with the needs of the people sharing the Atlantic forests of Brazil and the resource limitations of those involved with the conservation of these species and habitat. 4 Final Report - Lion Tamarin PHVA Workshop 2005 By 2004, most action steps from the first two workshops had been implemented, and Lion Tamarin recovery programs were considered some of the most progressive conservation programmes in the world. It was thus decided during the 2004 annual ICCM meeting to conduct a third PHVA workshop in 2005 to push conservation efforts even further. IBAMA offered to host the workshop in Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil, and CBSG Brasil and CBSG Europe volunteered to facilitate. The workshop was held from 7 to 11 June at Escola de Administração Fazendária (ESAF), Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil, and was followed on 13-14 June by the annual meeting of the ICCM. The objectives of this third PHVA were to evaluate the implementation status of the existing conservation action plans for the four species, the current status and threats facing the species and, based on that, to set new priorities for conservation strategies to address problems that may exist. Fortunately AMLD (The Golden Lion Tamarin Association) had developed new conservation action plans for the Golden Lion Tamarins through a strategic planning process, and IPE had developed new conservation

  • Foraging Behavior and Microhabitats Used by Black Lion Tamarins, Leontopithecus Chrysopyqus (Mikan) (Primates, Callitrichidae)
    Foraging behavior and microhabitats used by black lion tamarins, Leontopithecus chrysopyqus (Mikan) (Primates, Callitrichidae) Fernando de Camargo Passos 2 Alexine Keuroghlian 3 ABSTRACT. Foraging in the Black Lion Tamarin (L. chrysopygus Mikan, 1823) was observed in the Caetetus Ecological Station, São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, during 83 days between November 1988 to October 1990. These tamarins use manipuJative, specitic-site foraging behavior. When searching for animal prey items, they examine a variety ofmicrohabitats (dry palm leaves, twigs, under loose bark, in tree cavities). These microhabitats were spatially dispersed among different forest macrohabitats such as swamp torests and dry forested areas. These data indicated that the prey foraging behavior of L. chrysopygus was quite variable, and they used a wide variety ofmicrohabitats, different ofthe other lion tall1arin species. KEY WORDS. Callitrichidae, Leontopithecus chrysopygus, black lion tamarin, ani­ mai prey, foraging behavior, diet, microhabitats Lion tamarins, Leontopithecus Lesson, 1840, are considered primarily in­ sectivores and frugivores (COIMBRA-FILHO & MITTERMEIER 1973), or omnivores (KLElMAN et aI. 1988) because of the diversity of their diet. ln the wild, they consume mostly fruits, exudates, nectar, and animal prey. ln comparison to fruits, animal prey make up a relatively small proportion ofthe diet and are costly to obtain, but its nutritional vai ue make it an essential component of their diet. The prey of black lion tamarins (L. chrysopygus) may include a variety ofinvertebrates (insects, spiders, and other arthropods) and small vertebrates, such as anuran frogs (CARVA­ LHO et aI. 1989; PASSOS 1999). ln this note, we present our observations on prey foraging. We then compare them with studies of other lion tamarin species and discuss some of the unique aspects ofblack lion tamarin foraging in re\ation to the microhabitats they use.

  • The Black Lion Tamarin Leontopithecus Chrysopygus - Its Conservation and Management
    ORYX VOL 32 NO 4 OCTOBER 1998 The black lion tamarin Leontopithecus chrysopygus - its conservation and management Ana Carolina Mamede-Costa and Nivar Gobbi The black lion tamarin Leontopithecus chrysopygus originally occurred throughout a large part of the Atlantic forest in the west of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Today, however, it is restricted to a few isolated forest fragments as a result of deforestation caused by cattle ranching, and urban and agricultural expansion, especially in this century. One of its last strongholds is a small gallery forest at Lengois Paulista in the west-central part of the state. The authors report on a long-term study of this small and isolated population, aimed particularly at providing a basis for the intensive management and conservation of the species and its habitat.

For the full dry season we found that animal prey represented 11.2% of the black lion tamarin diet, while during the wet season they represented 1.9%. Foraging behavior made up 19.8% of their total activity in the dry season and only 12.8% in the wet season. These results point out that animal prey are relatively more important during the dry season, due to reduced availability of other resources, e.g. fruits, and that a greater foraging effort is required when a larger proportion of the diet is animal prey. Key words: Leontopithecus chrysopygus, foraging behavior, seasonality, time-budgets, Callitrichidae.

  • 2008 Survey on Mixed Species Housing of Neotropical Primates
    2008 SURVEY ON MIXED SPECIES HOUSING OF NEOTROPICAL PRIMATES INTRODUCTION In early 2008, on behalf of the New World Monkey Taxon Advisory Group (TAG), a short questionnaire was sent to 185 AZA institutions to attempt to gather information pertaining to current trends in mixed species housing and exhibition of neotropical primates. A total of 65 institutions responded to the survey. Of these, forty-five institutions reported experiences with mixed species exhibits. The remaining 20 institutions responded that they had had no experience with mixed species exhibits. The questionnaire was identical to one that had been sent to AZA institutions in 1995. The results of the 1995 survey became the basis for a chapter on Housing and Exhibiting Mixed Species of Neotropical Primates (Sodaro, 1999) in the Callitrichid Husbandry Manual (Sodaro and Saunders, eds., 1999). The questionnaire consisted of the following four questions: 1. List the neotropical primate species that you have successfully mixed with each other in exhibits or off exhibit holding enclosures. Please describe the number of animals of each species as well as the age and sex composition of each species’ group. Briefly describe the method of introduction. 2. List the neotropical primate species that were not successfully mixed with each other. Please describe the number of animals of each species as well as the age and sex composition of each species’ group. Briefly explain why the combination was not successful, as well as the method of introduction. 3. List other species of animals that you have successfully mixed with neotropical primates.

  • Defensive and Exploratory Reactions of Black and Golden-Headed Lion Tamarins Exposed to a Mirror
    Revista de Etologia 2001, Vol.3, N°1, 15-23 Defensive and exploratory responses to mirrors in lion tamarins The Image Is Another Tamarin: Defensive and Exploratory Reactions of Black and Golden-Headed Lion Tamarins Exposed to a Mirror CÉSAR ADES, LUCIANO TOMÉ AND VÂNIA HADDAD DIEGO Universidade de São Paulo To determine the nature of the social behavior of black (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) and golden-faced (L. chrysomelas) lion tamarins toward their mirror-image, the responses of lion tamarins of both species (defense, exploration, observation of mirror and stay in proximity of the mirror) were assessed in their home cages during two sessions of exposure to mirrors and compared to baseline levels. Mirrors elicited, on first and second presentation, strong defensive responses such as vocalizations, scent marking, increased locomotion, as well as exploration and observation directed to the mirror. On the second exposure, there was a decrease in defensive performance for black but not for golden-headed lion tamarins, while exploratory and looking to the mirror levels remained at their high, former levels. Results indicate that lion tamarins, contrary to some indication of non-aggressive responsiveness to mirror-image in cotton-top tamarins, reacts defensively to mirror-images as though they were interacting with an intruder. Permanence of observing responses to the mirror-image, at least in black lion tamarins, may indicate the existence of a social exploration tendency, independent from aggressiveness toward strange conspecifics.
