¿De quién depende salvar al tití? | Anne Savage | TEDxBarranquilla


[Music]
You know this animal
if now the marmoset but there is much
people here in Colombia that no
I know the cotton – top tamarin not
They have a reputation as chimpanzees
none but here in Colombia is a
animal with great importance
when I was 19
I was university student
wisconsin and I think I’ll be
psychologist but one day I went with a
my teacher and he opened the door and
I see the face of these animals and not
I had to think it was only
did not know that but you know one thing when
I see the face of these animals and
eyes look at me so something happened my
life I said as my curiosity
I want to know more about this animal
then I changed everything
Now I said I will not be
psychologist with children
I’ll be studying marmosets my
Parents were furious
then my teacher told me
We will study these animals and
the next four years
We are doing the first
studies of otitis in captivity but
one thing is very important that they
Marmosets know it is that is in danger
extinction
then he had a dilemma
I say I’m here in town
March in wisconsin studying marmosets
but that is an animal in danger of
where extinction is not in eleven
Endangered
and then if I want Colombia
help this animal touches to go to
Colombia
then I was the first family
Colombia in year 87 and this was one
awesome experience
Colombia now felt like my second
home
I spent much time here and
thanks to many people and I can spend
much time studying marmosets in the
forest thing I want to tell you is
a very nice story of this animal
here
Her name tamara camera marmoset
this animal is 16 years of age , a
bore as small as only weighs
400 grams and now have 16 years
living in the forest
Here in Colombia and that is something very rare
because animals usually night
such a long day but thanks to tamara
and his family
we have a lot of information
on marmosets marmoset or very
like us living in families
like us there is a mom is a papa
and children and they spend all day
there in the woods eating and
resting and sometimes fighting
the thing is very interesting to marmosets
and that he always moms
twins twins are born each time the
year and babies are quite the
PCN babies as 15% the weight breast
This is similar if I have two children
weighing five kilos
one good hard look silhouette
I hope marmosets or very intelligent
the mother I am not able to upload
these kids as giant and
I can go get food and and caring for
others and those who are in my house
You can do these things alone then
by marmosets is something really cool
All family members help
to care for babies as we
Marmosets are not born with all that
they need to know to measure the
Forest babies do not know they are
good to eat do not know where to
sleep but parents who teach
all like us then marmosets
eat lots of fruits over 90 ie
Fruit also eat insects and gums
But when babies are born and started
eat like is the way to learn
they watch their parents eat their
brothers and is something very funny because
when a marmoset have food in your hand
It has some special action
I said I have food and when
Babies hear is they come to
Remove the food and the countries on 5
pleasure is eating anything you
then the marmoset are very similar to
we too because this is very
in families and nothing else
which it is really cool and marmosets and
They have a language like us
They have more than 40 bit actions and
vocalizations they have any
idea
then these are few actions
that said I am lost and those
is something I do not want will happen
the marmosets not want us
Here in Colombia would lose that
species is very important
all of us need to take care of their
titís if you are interested in learning more
vocalizations on marmosets
we have a program where you can
learn to speak with a beat and
gladly but the most important thing
It is that these marmosets only live here
Colombia can not find these
animals in forests in other countries
the world only here this is your
then touches that natural heritage
take care
This is very important for the future of
all Colombians
then we have a very serious problem
house marmoset is the forest
now almost no more than 95% of
tropical forest have disappeared there
voice that is now a very serious problem
The second problem is that not many
marmosets in 60 Colombia exported
Chalk more than 30,000 US
for biomedical studies and now
there are only less than 25 percent
this amount of chalk here who
Colombia
That is very serious almost no titís
here and this is the natural heritage
the other problem is that many people
pitis like to have as pets
I imagine you here know
people who have marmosets and that’s something
fatal for spices because you know
These animals
messi
live in the forest with his family not
Family of us I know I
I look forward to caring for and
keep marmosets I’m super
They are powerful but the thing is I do not
I’m the only person who needs
marmosets care needs help
all these people here in Colombia and
because we now have a team
amazing here who was born here in
barranquilla and this is foundation
marmoset project is led by
miguel rosa guillén and this people are
working every day with
communities with children with many
people here in Colombia for
keep these marmosets and that’s because
I have hope because there now
people who want to keep marmosets no
I only are more people now
It has this interest but is
needed to save the marmoset that things
we need city
people first need to assess
nature
This is very important because if
you do not value these things who will
look after
We have programs in communities
rural where children can have a
book is called antillas and this Catiti to
They have a story about marmosets
marmoset called tito and children can
learn life in the US have forest
which he is now happening in the forest
that’s very important because
you know a lot of these communities
children go to school and have
books but they now have their
first a book and this book has
impact because kids love
take this book home
you are reading this with all my members
family and neighbors would otherwise
which are very important is that
Children have the opportunity yesterday
forest and watch the tees not only in
the book but now have the opportunity
and look tamara tito and all myths
who they are there and is a very impact
big
this change the attitude of many of
these children because it is now something real
in life and they want to help you
Another problem that we have is
this problem that many people
marmosets like to have as a pet but
we know marmosets are not
good for pet animals are
good pet
dogs but not many children there
I think dogs are very good for
pets are stupid and these things
but we have this program called
friend where we teach the
Young Caring for your dogs and
also show that they are intelligent
dogs because we teach
children to do tricks with their dogs
and now the children are thinking that
these dogs that super cool and now
they do not want but do not want to issue as
Pet dogs who another problem
It is that you know there is not much forest
there are many communities that need
forest resources to survive
then we have programs
help their communities to reduce
its impact on the forest
many of these people cooking with firewood
with three bankruptcies used as 15 volumes
firewood
every day is much
firewood and that’s all we have a
bing program is that it is a stove
cooking with much less line 5
firewood logs Enea is a thing
if nothing else is we also have
many problems when people are
making cut fences because many
trees to make this case also
there are problems in the communities because
There is no way to recycle waste and
in many of these communities
There is a lot of pollution with bags
halo plastic is plastic with
plastic bottles but we
We have a very interesting idea will
collect all these plastics in these
communities with people who live there
employ these people and we will
this recycle plastic and make a post
Plastic is now called you
posts and these types is now too
good because the voice that saved
It helps people in communities to
They do not live with so much pollution and
people also have jobs but
another thing to look for opportunities to
work with these communities to
It is also producing its impact on
forest
We have a group of artisans who are
super good these women now
He is making stuffed marmosets as
this cute here and is the only one
We have programs where you are doing
backpacks and knapsacks these are well
cute super cute but are made
with plastic bags called as
Chila and they now have a lot of fame
this program in their women won the
Equator Prize this problem is
something very important
Look at those books if made things pure
plastic bags is nothing else that
Also these women are doing
very nice things is now more
part of a parade of Jülich Hasbún
francisca miranda
then how smart thing that’s
Very girl is now with all this here
in barranquilla well have people who
now you know you do not need to have titís
as pets there are communities
Now they are looking for alternatives
to remove forest resources
but the most important thing and that’s
something that you too can
help is we need to conserve
marmosets and forests that are here
in Colombia because there are many things
It is one of the things that is happening is
Titi project foundation in these
last four years is working
to conserve these forests
now we have three private reserves
for marmosets is a miracle to have this
by animals and I am very
proud that we have people who
we are working children
It is also helping healthy and
We have this fabulous team
marmoset foundation project but who
It depends save the tamarin depends on me
insurance but depends on you
It depends
