Devra Kleiman - Brazil field notes, May 1985, August 1985

About the Project

Butterscotch. Rita. Ron. Vera. These are just a few of the characters you’ll get to know in this field book. But no, they’re not humans. They are the golden lion tamarins that were released in Brazil. Conservation biologist Devra G. Kleiman records the growth of these primates, from their weight and color to what they were eating. Believe it or not, you can almost feel Kleiman’s pride when she happily reports that Ron is no longer eating his own feces! Join a group of #volunpeers in transcribing Kleiman’s notes to understand just how much planning and data collecting went in to the process of monitoring these tamarins a year after they were first reintroduced to the wild.
