General Fund
SGLT's General Fund supports ongoing conservation activities by AMLD - the Golden Lion Tamarin Association, an award-winning Brazilian NGO dedicated to conservation of golden lion tamarins, their Atlantic Forest habitat, and the ecological services it provides to 1.5M community residents. Examples include monitoring and management of the wild tamarin population; environmental education in local communities; restoration and connection of sufficient forest fragments to ensure that lion tamarins will exist for decades to come.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
For us, conservation is not a romantic notion. Rather, it is numbers of tamarins and of hectares of connected and protected forests. Save the Golden Lion Tamarin's mission is: 1. To protect in perpetuity the Golden Lion Tamarin, a tiny endangered primate, and to protect and restore the globally outstanding biodiversity of its natural habitat, the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Rainforest. 2. To cooperate with other non-profit organizations with similar purposes; 3. To enlighten and educate society about preservation of the environment, especially the Atlantic Forest and the Golden Lion Tamarin; 4. To raise funds to support and promote the efforts of Associação Mico-Leão Dourado (AMLD), a Brazilian non-profit registered under the laws of the City and State of Rio de Janeiro, whose mission is the conservation of the biodiversity of the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest focusing on the long-term protection of the Golden Lion Tamarin in its natural habitat.
WE CAN SAVE THIS SPECIES FROM EXTINCTION. We know what is needed. We have a science-based plan to get there. And we have a trained team on the ground already making progress. All we need to reach our goals is enough financial resources to maintain the capable staff to continue our work.
