The animal I chose to make a habitat for is the cotton-top tamarin. From my knowledge, I was able to make judicious choices that would suit a cotton-top tamarin’s likes and dislikes. Zoo exhibits already are equipped with supplies tamarins need. But the picture I drew is how I think a habitat for a cotton-top tamarin should be in a zoo exhibit. Cotton-top tamarin is a SSP (Species Survival Plan) animal who’s critically endangered animal due to deforestation and wildlife trafficking. These animals
animal is the Cotton-top Tamarin who is very close to becoming extinct due to the declining forest areas in South America, where the tamarin lives. Fortunately, there have been many projects that have been created in order to protect this majestic primate. One well-known conservation project is Proyecto Tití, or Project Tamarin in English, which is centered primarily in Colombia. This project, while not as popular as many others, has helped to protect the Cotton-top Tamarins, which are one of the most
National Geographic magazine shows mainly a picture of an animal called a White-footed Tamarin or scientifically know as (saguinus leucopus), the ad consists of multiple pictures and short sentences which cannon makes use to attract customers, but the main attraction was the great shot of this cute creature and the lively colors of the photo shot. The reader attention could be grabbed by either the main Tamarin picture or the map picture of South America with COLOMBIA written in a bold clear letter
As one of the most endangered species of primate in the world today the Golden Lion Tamarin exists mainly in the areas of South America, more specifically the coasts boarding the country of brazil all the to Uruguay. Originating from the luscious and seemingly never-ending rainforests of Brazil the Golden Lion Tamarins have had to relocate over the years. Due to the interruption of man through out these spacious and lush forests, many species has been left homeless and even pushed to the brink of
The Effect of Deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest on Golden Lion Tamarins Deforestation is the permanent removal of forests to make room for other uses of the land (McIntyre). The Amazon rainforest stretches for 1.6 million square miles, holds 1/10 of the world’s species and provides natural assets for both regional and national economies (“Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest”). Despite its great importance to the Earth, the Amazon rainforest is perhaps the most threatened area of deforestation
WHY ARE RAINFORESTS IMPORTANT? Tropical rainforests are among the most important natural features on our planet. Rainforests only cover 2% of the Earth's surface, but are homes to over 50% of all species of plants and animals living here. Rainforest trees help the planet breathe by absorbing carbon dioxide (a Greenhouse Gas) from the atmosphere, and producing the oxygen that people and animals need to survive. If the Earth had lungs like human beings, the rainforests would be those lungs. Rainforests
beings to study animals and learn more about animals. Numerous opponents against zoos believe that they do not help educate visitors or help animals in any way. Breeding programs at zoos have helped multiple endangered species such as golden lion tamarins, cheetahs and tapirs (Keilin). Zoos have always been helping animals and our society, and they have been doing this by providing education to youth, science research, homes for endangered species, and a link to nature. One of the several ways, and
Human behavior is a highly debated topic in the scientific community. While geneticists argue that an individual's innate qualities and genetic makeup cause individual differences in human behavior, psychologists believe that an individual's personal experiences or their environment causes those differences. This debate is known as “nature versus nurture,” and the two sides have evolved as more information has been found in genetic research. While there are still different ideas about how much effect
