Wildlife orphan babies are such emissaries. This looks quite lovable, and I'll bet all who meet it are inspired to protect the species.

Lovely spotting and right honor for such threatened specie. This spotting must increase love for this Primate and raise conservation of their habitats.

On day 3 of Amazon Awareness Week, the team came across an abandoned Saddleback Tamarin that had been adopted by local Yagua villagers near Iquitos, Peru. Help spread the word about Amazon conservation so when this baby grows up, there will be plenty of rainforest to play in!

"Tamarins are squirrel-sized monkeys found in tropical rainforests. They are great climbers and active during the day, when they can be found running and jumping through trees."
