An intensive reintroduction program has allowed more than 70 tamarins to be released into Brazil’s protected area. Mortality is high; however, up to 70 percent die in the first year after release When zoo-born tamarins are set free in the forest they become disoriented and helpless and do not know how to feed themselves.

The first set of released tamerins had failed badly; a year later eleven of them had either been removed from the natural environment or had died. After this, the reserve stregthened their training programme, especially the post-release training. The improvements made lead to a more successful reintroduction, with 169 tamerins being released into the wild; making 23% of the wild population by 1995)

Before being reintroduced, they went through a pre-release training programme which taught them how to search for hidden food and how to use the natural substrates for locomotion. The tamarins were used to cages that were built around natural vegetation at the release site

by year 2025 we must establish a viable population with 2,000 GLTs living freely in a landscape of 25,000 hectares of connected and protected Atlantic Forest habitat.

Because so few tamarins remain in the wild it is important to increase and manage these populations to ensure the genetic diversity needed for the survival of the species.  The Golden Lion Tamarin Conservation Program was created in 1983 to rescue, protect, and conserve the golden lion tamarins in their natural habitat.  Since 1983 we have conducted scientific monitoring of the entire wild population of tamarins

Forty-three institutions, including 41 zoos, one primate center, and one university research colony, were home to the 146 captive-born golden lion tamarins that were reintroduced to the wild in Brazil between 1984 and 2001.

It is thought that only 2% of the golden lion tamarin's forest habitat is still standing meaning that golden lion tamarin troops are being forced closer together. Today, the majority of the wild golden lion tamarins inhabit a reserve made up of swampy forest close to the Brazilian capital of Rio de Janeiro.

There are 2 biological reserves in the Northeast region of the State of Rio de Janeiro and the headquarters of the Golden Lion Tamarin Conservation Programme. The birth of the 1,000th animal in April 2001, was a landmark for the Golden Lion Tamarin Programme, WWF's first project in Brazil, started in 1971.

The wild population in the early 80’s was estimated at only 200 individuals, but due to a captive breeding program and reintroduction into the wild, combined with a program to protect and restore habitat, the golden lion tamarin population has increased to 1,500.

The key elements of the golden lion tamarin diet are flowers, soft fruits, nectar, snails, spiders, and bugs such as crickets. Golden lion tamarins occasionally eat small vertebrates. These include frogs, lizards, adult and baby birds, and bird eggs.
