Proyecto Tití’s restored forests in Los Titíes de San Juan Forest Reserve are already providing important habitat for cotton-top tamarin families, with several groups recently spotted foraging in restored areas while carrying newborn twins. These exciting sightings are a powerful reminder that forest restoration is helping create a safer future for critically endangered cotton-top tamarins and the wildlife that depend on healthy forests.

Proyecto Tití’s Mega Corridor program is bringing families together to help restore forests for cotton-top tamarins and other wildlife in Colombia. This inspiring story highlights how José Vázquez and his daughter Claribel are working side-by-side—she propagating native trees in the nursery and he planting them on his land—to create healthier forests and a brighter future for their community.

A few years ago, supporters of Proyecto Tití helped us nearly double the size of Los Titíes de San Juan Forest Reserve. Today, restoration is underway in this new protected area—and community members like Salvador Vásquez are helping lead the way by planting trees that reconnect forests for the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin.

Big things are growing at Proyecto Tití! A brand-new, solar-powered tree nursery is helping us take an important step forward in restoring forests and protecting the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin.

As Proyecto Tití restores tropical dry forest, the landscape begins to change in exciting ways. Native trees grow, habitat expands, and more wildlife returns—including top predators like the puma. With creativity, technology, and strong community partnerships, we’re showing that coexistence is not only possible—it’s already happening.
