Silvery-brown Tamarin

Silvery-brown Tamarin is classified as Vulnerable because the population is declining and the species faces a high risk of extinction in the medium-term future if current pressures continue. The White-footed Tamarin faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its restricted Colombian range, with agricultural expansion and cattle ranching eliminating critical forest corridors. Illegal capture for the pet trade compounds these threats, as their small body size and appealing appearance make them targets for wildlife traffickers. Urban development around major cities continues to fragment remaining forest patches, isolating populations and reducing genetic diversity.

Silvery-brown Tamarin occurs in Colombia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
