In the 1970s there were as few as 200 golden lion tamarins in the wild. Currently there are around 2,500. Every member of a troop helps care for the young but the breeding male takes the "lion's share" of carrying. That means this photo is likely of twins and their father.

The golden-headed lion tamarin’s range has shrunk by 42% since 1992. To combat a 60% population decline, a new Brazilian center is rehabilitating tamarins displaced by urban sprawl.
The goal: move them from dangerous city streets back into the native forests they need to survive.
