New records, reconfirmed sites and proposals for the conservation of black lion tamarin (<i>Leontopithecus chrysopygus</i>) in the middle and upper Paranapanema

“…There are already known occurrences of BLT populations close to the new or confirmed sites reported in this paper (Holst et al, 2006;Rylands et al, 2008;Rodrigues et al, 2014). The sightings of a BLT group in Guareí occurred in the riparian forest of the Guareí and Areia Branca rivers that connects to a population of the Angatuba Ecological Station 12 km away that was the focus of a recent population survey.…”

“…The publication of new records of occurrence of endangered species is an important contribution to existing biological and biogeographical data on a small scale, but gains special relevance when incorporated in multiple-scale approaches and initiatives for new strategies for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest (Ribeiro et al, 2013). Over the past decades, there have been initiatives by various institutions and researchers on state, federal and international levels for the conservation of BLTs Rezende, 2014), overseen by the international management committee for the lion tamarins and ands evidenced by the population and habitat viability workshops (Holst et al, 2006), management plans for protected where BLTs occur (São Paulo, 2006;Brasil, 2007;São Paulo, 2008;Duratex, 2013), the creation of new protected areas, the development of a National Action Plan for the Conservation of the mammals of the Central Atlantic Forest (Brasil, 2010;Brasil, 2012;Brasil, 2014), the updated lists of endangered species (Brasil, 2014;Kierulff et al, 2008;São Paulo, 2014a), specific environmental education programs, the declaration of BLTs as an environmental heritage of the state of São Paulo and as a symbol of conservation (São Paulo, 2014b), the creation of the standing committee for the conservation of primates in the state of São Paulo (São Paulo, 2014b), the state programs with incentives for municipalities to protect natural resources, such as the program Blue Green Municipality and the environmental registry for rural properties (for details see:www.…”

“…In 2000, the BLT was listed as one of the 25 most endangered primate species in the world (Mittermeier et al, 1985). Many studies on the ecology of this species, long-term conservation programs (Valladares-Padua, 1987;Valladares-Padua, 1993;Albernaz, 1997;Passos, 1998), and the finding of new populations in the basin of the upper Paranapanema River (Lima et al, 2003;Röhe et al, 2003;Rodrigues et al, 2014) brought new hope for its successful conservation. Because of the discovery of these additional populations, and the conservation efforts on behalf of this species, there was a proposal to downgrade the threat category from Critically Endangered in the updated list of threatened species in the state of São Paulo (São Paulo, 2008;Kierulff and Port-Carvalho, 2009).…”
