For two years, the FPI field team worked tirelessly to facilitate the filming of Emperor tamarin groups for BBC 's latest project, "The Americas", narrated by Tom Hanks. While they may be a new face to television, these tamarins have been studied by our team since 2009, monitoring population, behavior, disease, and more. They face an increasingly threatened landscape, as do all the constituents of the Amazon rainforest.
Under the guidance of .a.e.w. & , the tireless work of field team members .insitu & .nick made this incredible segment come to life. A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible!
These resilient primates have made their debut in Episode 4, titled "The Amazon", streaming on Peacock & NBC! We hope that this exposure brings more attention to their conservation, and the critical work we do worldwide. 🐒

The application deadline for our Reptile & Amphibian Surveillance program in central Vietnam is fast approaching - December 1st!
This research program with the Institute of Ecology and Conservation of Nature at Vinh University has several important objectives, including:
1) Monitoring how human activities (hunting, farming, and mining) are affecting nearby herpetofauna communities. This requires surveying sites along a gradient from ‘nearby’ to ‘far from’ villages in the Annamite mountain range.
2) Collecting animal richness and abundance data that, over a long time period (10+ years), informs us about the impacts of climate change, since herpetofauna are key indicators of ecological health.
3) Evaluating the status of Chytrid fungus, a pathogen that is present in Vietnam and can be highly detrimental to amphibian population survival, especially in conjunction with the factors mentioned above.
4) Utilizing samples collected by these surveys, building in situ molecular laboratory capacity for filling global gaps in wildlife genetic reference data, wildlife forensics, pathogen monitoring, and population genetic assessment.
We are accepting volunteers to assist in our January field survey that will help grow our working relationship with IECN, Vinh University, and contribute to this critically important wildlife research effort. Did you know that a large proportion of Vietnam’s herpetofauna are lacking an IUCN Red List status?
