Employing Green Fashion to Save Threatened Primates
Colombia's Fundacion Proyecto Titi is raising funds to conserve cotton-top tamarins, one of the world’s most threatened primates, by selling eco-mochilas, a version of the traditional Colombian woven shoulder bag made from recycled plastic. Made by local artisans and sold online, profits from the bags are providing local communities with alternative sources of income to deforestation, the main threat to tamarin populations.
