John,

How cool is this -- right now we can help plant 60,000 trees to rebuild threatened Colombian tropical forest and give a fighting chance to critically endangered turtles and monkeys!

Thanks to the rampant destruction of their forest home, there are fewer than 7000 of the charismatic cotton-top tamarins left in the wild -- and deforestation is picking up speed.

But with our help our local partner, Fundación Proyecto Tití, was able to purchase and protect -- forever! -- a huge, critical piece of land that will give these monkeys the space they need to recover and thrive.

Now they’re launching a tree-planting project, on the land we helped buy -- to give the forest back to the cotton-tops. With our help they can plant 60,000 new trees -- and keep up their work protecting the land. Can you chip in to help us give new life to these cotton-top tamarins and their forest?

The northern tropical forests of Colombia are deeply endangered due to farm expansion and other development. Cotton-top tamarins are among the most impacted species — this is the only place on the planet they are found, and they’ve seen a dramatic population decline in recent years.

It isn’t only the cotton-tops (although they are very cute). The area is home to spider and howler monkeys, scarlet macaws...and the critically endangered Dahl’s toad-headed turtle. Now that we've bought this land, it's become one of the only protected areas in the world where the turtle lives.

A local organization called Fundación Proyecto Tití is working on protecting the whole area. They already blocked the creation of a clear-cutting cattle ranch – and we helped them buy up over 1000 acres of land. John, now we can take this critical land and replant the lost forests, recreating a safe home area for the tamarins and other animals.

It’s not often you get the chance to buy a piece of tropical forest. Now that we've done it, will you be one of the 5000 donors we need to help restore the land and protect wild places like this from corporations bent on their destruction?
