The Amazon rainforest is truly a paradise for us monkeys! My kind, the emperor tamarin, also known by scientists as saguinus imperator, is a small-sized monkey species found mainly in the southwestern Amazon Basin located in Peru, with our population also spreading east to the northern part of Bolivia and into the state of Amazonas in Brazil.
Emperor tamarins are characterized by a monotone-colored appearance. Our hands, feet and faces are usually black-colored, and our long tails are reddish with tips of grey. Indeed, our tails are remarkably longer than our bodies! Female emperor tamarins usually give birth to one or two babies each time. Males are involved in washing the newborn babies right after birth and are known to care for the infants until they are six to seven weeks old.
Interestingly, our most unique and distinguishing feature is the long, white mustache, which is present in both genders. In 1907, Émil Goeldi, a Swiss zoologist named us “emperor” as a playful reference to German Emperor Wilhelm II because of this trait resembling the Kaiser’s mustache. We are definitely not afraid of heights and feel completely at home in trees as tall as 27 meters. Our groups are often led by the eldest female, with older males being of lesser rank. This practice is unusual among other species of monkeys, where males are generally the dominant gender.
However, we are constantly facing the challenge of population decline due to deforestation. The Guardian newspaper in the UK reported that 20% of the Amazon rainforest has been impacted in the past 40 years with the main cause of the deforestation being animal livestock grazing. Could you imagine a world without the Amazon rainforest, which is considered the lungs of the world, because it annually absorbs 5-10% of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions globally? The Amazon rainforest is not only the place we call home but is also extremely important to help regulate the entire planet’s climate for all beings. Please help to save our home, the Amazon rainforest, and this beautiful planet. Adopt a vegan lifestyle so that the animal livestock industry will no longer exist.

亞馬遜雨林真的是我們猴子的天堂！我的同類，皇狨猴，也被科學家稱為皇檉柳猴，是小型猴種，主要分布在秘魯的西南亞馬遜盆地，我們的族群也向東擴展到玻利維亞的北部和巴西的亞馬遜州。
皇狨猴的特徵，外觀色彩單調。我們的手、腳和臉通常是黑色的，而我們的長尾巴呈紅色，尾端帶有灰色。我們的尾巴確實是比我們的身體更長！雌性皇狨猴通常每胎生一個或兩個猴崽。在新生猴崽出生後，公猴就幫忙猴崽清潔，並且眾所周知，他們會照顧猴崽直到六至七週大。
有趣的是，我們最獨特且與眾不同的特徵是長長的白鬍，這在兩性別中都有出現。一九○七年，瑞士的動物學家埃米爾‧古爾迪戲稱我們為「皇」，以影射德國皇帝威廉二世，就是因為此特徵類似皇帝的鬍子。我們當然不怕高，在高達廿七米的樹上完全感到賓至如歸。通常我們群體由年齡最大的雌性領導，而年齡較大的雄性，地位較低。這種做法並不尋常，在其他種類的猴子中，通常雄性才是主導的性別。
然而，我們一直面臨著因森林砍伐而導致數量減少的挑戰。英國的《衛報》報導，過去四十年來，廿％的亞馬遜雨林受到了主要因為放牧牲畜而砍伐森林的影響。您能想像一個沒有亞馬遜雨林的世界嗎？而亞馬遜雨林被認為是世界的肺，因為它每年吸收全球人為二氧化碳排放量的五至十％。亞馬遜雨林不僅是我們的家園，而且為所有生物幫助調節整個星球的氣候，也是極為重要。請幫助拯救我們的家園，亞馬遜雨林和這個美麗的星球。採用純素生活方式，如此畜牧業將不復存在。
