About Rosamira Guillen
I am the Executive Director of Fundación Proyecto Tití, a non-profit organization working in Colombia to secure a long-term future for the critically endangered cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus), small monkeys only found in the tropical forests of northern Colombia, severely threatened by deforestation and capture for the illegal pet trade. We focus our efforts on conducting field research, protecting, restoring and connecting forests, educating students, and providing income alternatives to local communities, to reduce the unsustainable use and exploitation of forest resources for subsistence, and thus support the conservation of this unique species and its forest home.
