Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
Led by Brendan Robinson, the Village Vet is working with the world-famous Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust to save two endangered tamarin monkeys and help to re-build the Brazilian rainforests that are vital for their survival. The Atlantic Forest of Brazil, which has been reduced to 7% of its original size, is believed to harbour 7% of the world's species, many of which are endemic and threatened with extinction. These forest fragments still support an outstanding diversity of species, including the highly endangered Black Lion Tamarin, Jaguar, Ocelot, Puma, Tapir, White-Lipped Peccary and the Blue and Yellow Macaw. IPE-Institute for Ecological Research, a Brazilian non-profit and non-governmental organisation has spent many years coordinating efforts to conserve these remaining forest fragments. Working with small landholders, IPE is proving that agroforestry techniques can revive degraded soil while saving the forest and its exceptional fauna. With continuation funding, IPE plans to increase the number of forested corridors in the state of San Paulo and help 400 new families to earn a living based on agroforestry. Village Vet supports the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and IPE to carry out vital Tamarin research and protection in Jersey and Brazil that will help save these beautiful animals and their rainforest homes for us and for future generations. It is vital that we act now.
