		Among the inhabitants of this ecosystem is the golden lion tamarin.
		Future survival of the golden lion tamarin requires establishing wild populations over 4 or 5 times the size of the population in Poço das Antas in order for the species to have the genetic and demographic potential to exist and evolve as a natural species.
