Summary Response

In the article "Save the Atlantic rainforet-living space of the golden lion tamarin" by the world Associasion of zoos amd Aquarium,they at first talk about the golden lion and describe it; they say it is a squirrel sized monkey. Also, they talk about the historical existence of many animals in Brazil and the fact that the golden lion tamarin is one of them. They mention that, and that most of this species were in Atlantic forest in Brazil. In addition, they say the golden lion distribution was in the forested coastal region from the south of the state of Rio de Janeiro to the south of the state if Espirito Santo. Now their distribution is mostly less than before. Also, they say the golden lion now is extinct in Espirito Santo, and in Rio de Janeiro it has evacuated ti four regions in Brazil. Moreover, they say the protection of the golden lion tamarin began in the early 1970s with a cooperative project between the National Zoological Park (Washington, Smithsonian institution abd the Rio de Janeiro Primate Center; since then, this program has been expanded. Moreover, they say there is a habitat managment and restoration, and that study the genetics,the behavior, and the wild history of the golden lion.


As long as the animals in the forests are important and the forests are important, the government should take care of the forests and the animals. The country should build a lot of zoos to protect the golden lion. There should be many organizations throughout the country which have the golden lion.

First of all, in Brazil especially, there are many forests, and they have a lot of animals and plants, and those kind of animals are unusual to find all ocer the world, so if the forests always being crowded, or a lot of people come into them as groups, after that they will destroy the plants and capture the animals. Also, not only are forests an environment for animals, but also the people can get many benefits from them, and they can be considered a natural resource. For example, when the forest has plants that grow fruit, then that is considered a benefit for the people around the forest.

Second the government can build zoos for the animals, but they should know the habitat that the animals are used to living in. When the golden lion are brought to the zoos, and the managment and zookeepers do not know these animals' behavior,they will be under risk. In addition,in this way the government the will get the benefit in many ways, because the golden lions are rare in the world and when they are in the zoos, the country will protect them and will get a lot of money from the consumers who will come to watch the golden lions.

Third, when a country has animal is endangered and does not exist any where else in the world but in this country, then the country should establish an organization. In Brazil the golden lion was distributed in many forests there, but then it began to become extinct in some of those forests while it still existed in the others. In this case the governmentshould carry the responsibility to protect these animals by building an organization around Brazil. Moreover, they should have to arrange it and provide it with researchers and experts and people who know how to take care of the animals and give them provisions.

In conclusion, the zoos are the best solution for the people and the animals, and they could make a big place and provide it with trees and necessary matters, and keep the animals tgere, because sometimes the small get threatened by the wild animals like the tiger and sometimes because of the climate.
