Programme roles

Non Conservation icon • Education
The ex situ population should be used to educate visitors about callitrichid biology and ecology in general and the impact the species has in range on other callitrichid species (invasive species in range). 

• Exhibit
This attractive and easy-to-handle exhibit species allows EAZA institutions to gain experience with callitrichid management and maintain knowledge on mixed-species exhibits to preserve this knowledge and block space for future generations of callitrichid species of conservation concern.
