• Sahara Desert

• Great Barrier Reef

Why are golden lion tamarins endangered?

• They are hunted for food

• They carry diseases

• They are too small to survive

• They are not endangered

What is the purpose of the bridge being built for the tamarins?

• To provide a safe place for them to sleep

• To connect two sections of their habitat

• To attract other animals to the forest

• To hide from humans

What is the role of wildlife corridors?

• To provide shelter for animals

• To connect different animal habitats

• To protect animals from climate change

• To prevent animals from crossing highways

How are wildlife corridors different from the bridge being built for the tamarins?

• Wildlife corridors are tunnels, while the tamarin bridge is an overpass

• Wildlife corridors are only used by tamarins, while the tamarin bridge is used by multiple species

• Wildlife corridors are built in the Amazon Rainforest, while the tamarin bridge is built in the Atlantic Forest

• Wildlife corridors are not effective in connecting fragmented habitats

What is the main goal of the conservation group SavingSpecies?

• To breed golden lion tamarins in zoos

• To build bridges for tamarins

What is the significance of connecting different tamarin populations?

• It increases the chances of survival for individual tamarins

• It helps prevent diseases from spreading among tamarins

• It improves the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest

• It allows tamarins to explore new territories

How many golden lion tamarins currently live in Brazil?

• Less than 200

• Around 500

• Over 1,000
