Conservation Status
editSaguinus niger is listed as vulnerable species. Their status within the environment is delicate in terms of the saguinus niger becoming endangered if certain conservation measures are not performed. Since the major threat to the species is based on their environment, conservation of the habitats in which they reside are key in their survival. Logging of their territories cause a decrease in their availability of food and safety from other predators. There are several forests that are listed as reserves in which the forest is safe from deforestation. Gurupí Biological Reserve, Tapirapé Biological Reserve, and Caxiuanã Nationla Forest are protected areas in which the saguinus niger reside and forage. (IUNC) The saguinus niger are also adaptable to forage in primary, secondary and logged forests which make their chance for survival enhanced. (habitat)

== Foraging Behaviors ==
The black tamarin primarily reside in eastern Amazonia. Their foraging habits span from a primary forest to a secondary forest. They spend the majority of their time traveling throughout the forest to forage by leaping from tree to tree and spending minimal time on the ground. Their primary source of nourishment is from fruits. The climate in their habitat ranges from a dry season, November through January, to a wet season, February through April. During the dry season, fruit is not as abundant. They expand their diet to arthropods, such as grasshopper and crickets. They also feed on the exudate or gum of parkia pendula, an evergreen tree native to the Amazon forest, during the dry season. Even though they expand their diet in the dry season, fruit is still available from the tetragastris altissima and Inga alba trees. During the wet season, over 90 percent of their diet is fruit from as many as nine different species of trees. The seeds of many of these fruits are ingested and defecated. This process plays an important role in the regeneration of forests that are continuously threatened by logging. (Oliviera 2008)

Peer edit: Your article is very interesting. Good job explaining what they eat during different seasons and what stays constant. I can't find anything that needs to be changed or fixed. Nice work! [1][2][3]
