Sylvamo Aids in Research to Save Endangered Primate

MOGI GUACU, Brazil – The buffy-tufted marmoset, listed as one of the 25 most endangered primate species in the world by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, has been spotted five times on a Sylvamo-owned forestland reserve since February 2023.

Researchers with Environmental Research Institute of Sao Paulo partner with Sylvamo to monitor species of high biodiversity on one of the company’s four reserves, known locally as Reserva Particular do Patrimonio Natural (RPPN).

The sightings are important for conserving the species and reinforcing the importance of preserving natural lands through quality forest restoration. The records can also contribute to helping protect and manage the species, focusing on its long-term survival.

Aligned with Sylvamo’s 2030 goal, the company’s forestry operation in Brazil is working to restore and conserve native forests with high biodiversity and protect water resources in river basins on more than 51,800 acres of company-owned forestland reserves.
