Endangered Animals

Some of the animals at the refuge are critically endangered, often as a result of ongoing habitat destruction due to urbanization and cattle ranching. Make sure to take time to observe the pied tamarin, a small monkey with a black head and a white and brown body that is found only in a restricted area of the Brazilian Amazon and is considered one of the most endangered primate species in the Amazon belt.
