Golden Boy
Monkey Month moves to the New World with a look at the glorious Golden Lion Tamarin, today’s Endangered All-Star.  Well-known and much-publicized efforts have focused on the captive breeding and reintroduction of the species, but equally important are efforts to save its wild home, the Atlantic forests of Brazil.  You can Adopt-an-Acre from the Nature Conservancy and help speed their campaign to plant a billion trees in this denuded area.  Go on—you know you want to.
