A tiny monkey jumps from tree to tree in a rainforest in Brazil. It’s chasing a tasty bug to eat. Suddenly, the trees dead-end at a highway. The bug escapes, and the monkey has nowhere to go.
This adorable primate is a golden lion tamarin. It lives in the Atlantic Forest along Brazil’s eastern coast (see Disappearing Forest). That area has been ravaged by deforestation. Over centuries, people have cut down most of the forest to make space for cities and farmland. What’s left are isolated pockets of trees.

This cute primate is a golden lion tamarin. It lives in the Atlantic Forest. The forest is found along Brazil’s eastern coast (see Disappearing Forest). But little of the forest remains. People have cut much of it down. They wanted to make space for cities and farms. Only small pockets of forest are left.
