A new population study shows golden lion tamarins are rebounding in Brazil. The monkeys are endangered but are considered one of conservation’s rare success stories. That story seemed imperiled after an outbreak of yellow fever killed a third of the population. There are now about 4,800 of the monkeys in the wild. That means more golden lion tamarins are bounding through Brazilian rainforest than any time since efforts to save the species started in the 1970. Biologists conducted the population survey over roughly a year by checking whether monkeys responded to playback recordings of the monkey’s long call, which basically means “I’m here. Are you there?”
