T he Proyecto Mono Tocón
was founded in 2007 in
order to work on the
conservation of the endangered San
Martin titi monkey in Peru (locally
known as the mono Tocón). The pro-
ject is an initiative of Le Conserva-
toire pour la Protection des Pri-
mates, the conservation foundation
of La Vallée des Singes Primate
Park in France. It receives valuable
support of European Zoos and in-
ternational conservation organisa-
tions.

Due to the ongoing deforestation of the habitat of the San Martin titi
monkey, its conservation status was upgraded in 2011 to Critically Endan-
gered. It is urgent to join forces to safe this species from extinction.
While the first years focussed on basic research and education, the project
is developing in a well-known organisation for nature conservation in
north-eastern Peru. Just like in the preceding years, we developed in 2011
more activities for education and conservation. Our team was often con-
tacted by other organisations and the authorities for cooperation with or
support for their projects. There were many highlights, like the creation of
new reserves, the presentation of our comic book in the Awajun language
and the start of a project for the monitoring of primates in the Bosque de
Protección Alto Mayo.
In this report we report the activities that the Proyecto Mono Tocón has
executed in 2011.

NGO-D
Since September 2010 the Proyecto Mono
Tocón is registered as a NGO-D(evelopment)
in the registers of the Peruvian Agency for In-
ternational Cooperation (APCI). The necessary
annual report to the authorities was supplied
and accepted.

Financial administration
As in the preceding years, the project has its
own financial administration. However, to have
an official and transparent financial administra-
tion, the association also works with an exter-
nal accountant.
Research Permits
Proyecto Mono Tocón has received a permit to
study primates in the Bosque de Protección
Alto Mayo for the ICAM Project (see below).
Office
This spring there has be a burglary in our office
in Moyobamba. Several computers and other
equipments were stolen. This was a shock for
our team, and an important financial misfor-
tune. We decided to move to another office
that was more expensive but also larger and
(probably) safer.
Personnel
There have been some changes in our team
this year. Fernando Guerra Vásquez, who was
with us since the start of the project, left us to
seek new carrier opportunities. He will be
missed, but we hope that he continues to
support through his new job the work of the
Proyecto Mono Tocón.
José Tito Villacis Del Castillo was the last two
years with us to accompany Julio during his
fieldwork. He has left us to continue with his
study.
Victoria Pérez Tello, who was responsible for
the Education department, took over the posi-
tion of Fernando as head of the Conservation
department. She was also appointed as the
new President of the ONG.
As we increase our work on this department,
she will be assisted by Margarita del Águila
Mejía, who has just finished her thesis with our
project.
Julio C. Tello Alvarado continued coordinating
our Research Department. He is also the new
treasurer of the NGO. During field studies he is
assisted by different students, and in 2010
Eder Murrieta Villalobos was often his
companion.
Alexander Amasifuén Pérez will be the head of
our Education department, and he will also be
assisted by Margarita del Águila Mejía.

New office in Moyobamba
Proyecto Mono Tocón has a large group of
enthusiastic students and volunteers that help
our team with their activities.
The Proyecto Mono Tocón is coordinated by
Antonio Bóveda Penalba, who is since the
beginning involved in the project. He has
founded the NGO Sugkamat, to make his work
for the Proyecto Mono Tocón possible.
Jan Vermeer, Director of the Proyecto Mono
Tocón and President of Le Conservatoire pour
la Protection des Primates, coordinates the
project on a voluntary basis and has the final
responsibility. ☼

Conservation areas
Morro de Calzada
This emblematic nature area near the city of
Moyobamba has dominated the conservation
initiatives of the association since the end of
2009. Since then, we have negotiated with the
Municipality of Calzada how to take together
the road towards the legalization of the area as
a “Protected Reserve - Área Natural
Protegida”. Legalization of the status of the
area is important to receive legal support for
the conservation actions and the protection of
the natural resources of this ecosystem.
Morro de Calzada is interesting as it holds an
important population of San Martin Titi
monkeys. Due to its short distance from
Moyobamba, it could serve as a perfect area
for nature education and ecotourism
(especially birding), focussing on the impor-
tance of Titi monkey conservation.
The procedure to register and categorize the
area has shown how difficult it sometimes is to
achieve something in Peru, and how important
it is to continue even when everything develops
only slowly. The problem seems to be that
there are too many (governmental) parties in-
volved, that all have their own opinion on how
to deal with this area. All of them agree that the
area needs to be protected, but there less
agreement on the status that the area should
receive.
Conservation areas Annual Report 2011

Alto Mayo area
View of Morro de Calzada
We continued to keep pressure on the authori-
ties, and in Mai 2011 the area was finally regis-
tered as a protected area.
This is very important, as from now on the
authorities can take action against people that
cause damage to the vegetation. The munici-
pality of Calzada has appointed a family as the
rangers of the area. We hope that his patrolling
will be the start of an effective protection.
However, the discussion continues about the
status of the area. Should it be a Municipal or
Regional Conservation Area, who will manage
the area, who will pay for the management,
etc. Proyecto Mono Tocón will continue this
discussion and try to guide it in the best direc-
tion. Until the final decision has been made, it
is difficult to work on the management plan.
Our educational activities surely have a good
effect on the attitude of the local habitants to
the conservation of Morro de Calzada. Our ex-
tensive program of 2011 (see below) will how-
ever be somewhat reduced in 2012, as we also
have to work in other parts of San Martin and
we unfortunately do not have the budget to ex-
pand our education team. ☼

Conservation Concession Ojos de
Agua – El Bosque del Futuro
This Conservation Concession was created in
2010 and covers 2,400 hectares. It is an
interesting area with dry forest that inhabits
many uncommon bird species. It also has a
population of San Martin Titi monkeys
(Callicebus oenanthe). It is very interesting that
Titi monkeys can survive in this habitat, where
many trees are deciduous.
Areas with this habitat are less interesting for
agriculture, and therefore may be important for
the conservation of C.oenanthe. Studies on the
differences in behaviour and ecology of Titi
monkeys in this habitat and the humid
rainforests in other parts of its distribution
would be very interesting.
The association that is managing this
concession has requested support and advice
from Proyecto Mono Tocón. We will visit them
next spring to discuss the needs and possibili-
ties.
It is good to see that many (local) associations
that develop conservation initiatives find their
way to Proyecto Mono Tocón. It reflects the
good work and the name of our team. It is im-
portant that we find ways to expand our team
and activities in 2012. ☼

Bajo Mayo area
San Martin Titi monkey (Callicebus oenanthe)
A large part of the area consists of the high
Andean mountain range, with cloud forests that
are the habitat of yellow-tailed woolly monkeys
(Oreonax flavicauda), spider monkeys (Ateles
belzebuth) and other endangered animals like
the spectacled bear and the jaguar.
Conservation Concessions
Shitariyacu and Tres Quebradas
Since 2010 we are in contact with groups of
local habitants of the settlements Ricardo
Palma and Bagazán. These people solicited
for our help to create a protected area. The
area holds an important population of San
Martin Titi monkeys. This case represents an
important example of community conserva-
tion, where local habitants want to protect
their natural environment. Both settlements
have the intention to create “Concesiones para
Conservación”.
With this type of conservation status, a private
entity (for instance an association) can be
granted the right of use of governmental territo-
ries.

The type of use is restricted by the terms stipu-
lated in the proposal that has been presented
by the association to the government. The prin-
cipal goal is of course the conservation of the
area, and several activities are forbidden. How-
ever, activities that do not cause damage, like
the extraction of some forest products and
ecotourism, are allowed. The concession is
granted normally for a period of 40 years
(renewable), with each 5 years an evaluation
by the forestry department.
Together with the association Neotropical Pri-
mate Conservation (NPC), we supported the
local associations with the proceedings that are
necessary to obtain the concessions. The com-
munities see the areas as the most important
sources of water that they need in their daily
life. The development of ecotourism could gen-
erate extra income. But above everything, they
want to protect their territory against immi-
grants from other parts of Peru, that show no
respect for the natural resources of the com-
munities.
Our surveys showed that many San Martin Titi
monkeys live in the area. Birdlife is very rich,
including some species that not have been re-
ported before in this region.
In November 2011, the “Concesión de Conser-
vación Shitariyacu”, with a size of 1,600 hec-
tares and coordinated by the Association for
Sustainable Development and Conservation -
Ricardo Palma has been granted by the
government. The creation of the “Concesión de
Conservación Tres Quebradas” with a size of
4,200 hectares (connected to the former) and
coordinated by the Association for the Conser-
vation and Protection of the “Tres Quebradas”
– Bagazan takes some more time, as there is
an overlap with an area that has been as-
signed as production forest. However, we hope
that next spring there will be a protected area
of 5.800 hectares, of which a large part is
(potential) Titi monkey habitat.
In 2012 we hope to find funding to support the
local association with the formulation of the
management plan (including the necessary
biological research), an educational program
and a study on the possibilities for the promo-
tion of ecotourism.
Conservation Area Pucunucho
Amazónicos por la Amazonía (AMPA) started
in 2011, with support of Proyecto Mono Tocón
and NPC, a new conservation project in the
small private conservation area Pucunucho.
We could support this process with biological
inventories and education. It is planned that the
area will be expanded in 2012, as AMPA has
received funding from IUCN-NL to purchase
more land.

Conservation areas Huallaga Central
Depending on funding, Proyecto Mono Tocón
will probably continue its support to this project.
Conservation Concession
Cunchuhuillo
Connected directly to the conservation area of
Pucunucho is an area where there may be
possibilities to create a Concession de Conser-
vation. Cunchuhuillo is well-known for its in-
triguing petroglyphs.
In 2012 we will investigate the possibilities for
the creation of this protected area. This de-
pends mainly on the willingness of the local
communities and the habitat quality. ☼

Research
Proyecto Mono Tocón has conducted now al-
most four years research on the San Martin Titi
monkey with the objective to obtain basic infor-
mation on the species. This information is in-
dispensable for taking the necessary conserva-
tion measures.
Our studies have focussed on the determina-
tion of the distribution range of the species and
to evaluate its conservation status. Proyecto
Mono Tocón has used a part of the financial
support received from the Le Conservatoire
pour la Protection des Primates and the Euro-
pean zoos for these studies.
In 2011 the research department has been
busy with the biological inventories in the con-
servation areas mentioned above, as these
were necessary for the applications. Therefore,
less structural surveys on titi monkeys have
been conducted. This is also a logical develop-
ment, as we now focus on implementing the
research results for conservation measures, as
has always been our target.
The research projects that we conducted are
listed below.
Distribution of the San Martin Titi
monkey (Callicebus oenanthe) on
the right bank of the Huallaga
River, San Martin region
In 2009 we discovered that the San Martin Titi
monkey lives also on the right bank of the
Huallaga River.
For conservational reasons, it is important to
determine the extent of its distribution on that
side of the river. The Mohamed Bin Zayed
Conservation Foundation provided finances to
study the situation. Studies were conducted
between July 2010 and spring 2011.

Distribution of San Martin Titi monkey

The results of these studies indicate that the
distribution of Callicebus oenanthe on the right
bank of the Huallaga River is very restricted
and that most of that area is occupied by
Callicebus discolor.
A final report has been presented to the Mo-
hamed Bin Zayed Conservation Foundation in
Mai, and was accepted. The report is available
on request.
Density study of C. oenanthe in
Morro de Calzada
Jossy Luna, student of the University Nacional
de San Marcos in Lima, started with the first
phase of a density study in the area of the
Morro de Calzada. Unfortunately she will not
be able to continue her study, and we will
analyse the results of the first two months to
have some preliminary results.
ICAM Project
In 2011 Proyecto Mono Tocón started a
cooperation with Conservation International
Peru, to do research for their conservation pro-
ject Iniciativas de Conservación del Alto Mayo.
Research Annual Report 2011
José Tito Villacís and Jossy Luna in Morro
(14)
For this study, we conduct base-line studies
around six important water-sources in the
Bosque de Protección Alto Mayo. The idea is
to census with a short study of 15 days the pri-
mate communities. In the future this study
should be continued, to monitor the develop-
ment of these populations. The study involves
much coordination with the communities living
around the sources, and also includes work-
shops in which the importance of the project is
explained.
The first localities have been surveyed, but few
primates have been observed. One survey had
to be cancelled, as the local communities pre-
ferred to construct a road into the reserve in
order to make the extraction of wood and other
products easier. Fortunately this action re-
sulted in the appointment of new rangers
around all water sources where we want to do
our research, and which are important for the
future of many thousands of habitants of
San Martin.
The study will be finished in June, after
which we will discuss with Conservation In-
ternational the possibilities to continue the
activities for the ICAM project with the moni-
toring of the primate populations.
Ricardo Palma and Bagazán
In the proposed Conservation Concession
we conducted surveys for birds and other
animals, for the preparation of the applica-
tions for the concessions. This work was
done in collaboration with NPC. We also
assisted the local communities with the de-
termination of the limits of their territory to pre-
pare a map for the application. The results of
the studies were presented to the local com-
munities during a meeting.
The associations AMPA and NPC invited
Proyecto Mono Tocón to participate in a study
on the density of Callicebus oenanthe in the
private reserve of Pucunucho. Our team also
assisted during an event where we presented
our study and informed the local community
about the problems of the illegal animal traffic.
GIS Habitat Analysis
Together with Sam Shanee of NPC we con-
ducted a GIS habitat analysis for Callicebus
oenanthe. This was a perfect collaboration, as
Sam has experience with this type of work,
while we have much data on C. oenanthe dis-
tribution. The study is very important, as it
helps us to show the importance of urgent con-
servation actions, and it guides us to where the
actions may be the most effective.

The study has already been served for the pro-

duct in 2011 and which we will continue in
2012.
Surveys for C. oenanthe in eastern
Mariscal Cáceres
The GIS habitat analysis mentioned above in-
dicated the areas where conservation
measures could be possible, provided that the
habitat is indeed suitable and Titi monkeys live
there. In order to study this, the conservation
organisation “Thoiry-Peaugres Conservation”
provided a grant for 8 weeks of surveys. The
surveys will be accompanied by educational
activities.
The work has started at the end of 2011, and
will continue in 2012. Heavy rain with flooding
rivers during December made work in the field
very difficult.

Environmental Education
Education has always been an important part
of the Proyecto Mono Tocón. While we have
started with only volunteers, we now have a
professional organisation that not only
develops programs for schools, but also for
other conservation projects and even authori-
ties.
Theoretical program in Calzada
and Yantaló
The Nature Education Program in the districts
of Calzada and Yantaló (around the Morro de
Calzada, see above) started in 2009 and in-
cludes seven themes: water, soil, air, fauna,
flora, biodiversity and threats to species.
Through the years the education team of
Proyecto Mono Tocón has standardised the
contents of the program, in consultation with
the teachers and representatives of the
authorities. The theoretical parts where ex-
panded with all kinds of activities, including
games, to make the courses more attractive to
the children.
The program in 2011 was given in three
different schools, in a total of 7 classes. Each
class had 2 hours of environmental education
per week, during a period of 7 months.
Environmental Education Annual Report 2011
(18)
Theoretical program of Environmental Education
As in the preceding years, we distributed
large number of comics, posters and
stickers. Other organisations have received
our permission to use the comic book for
their educational programs.
Practical program in Calzada
and Yantaló
With the support of our students, we were
able to implement in 2011 three practical
education programs.
With the first, “My Garden”, we made small
gardens with ornamental flowers, medical
herbs and vegetables. The goal is that the chil-
dren, together with their parents, come in con-
tact with the nature and understand the impor-
tance of eating fresh vegetables.
With the second, “Proyecto Compost”,
we teach the children to separate
waste, and that much can be recycled,
for instance as compost for the garden.
With the third, “Waste Management”,
we also teach the children how to han-
dle waste in and around their houses.

Nature Club Calzada
In Calzada, the nature club “Jóvenes
Estudiantes Unidos para Conservar la
Naturaleza JOESUCNA” (Young Students
United to Conserve Nature) was initiated.
This club is coordinated by some of our
students. They receive education about
nature conservation, and organise activi-
ties like the cleaning of the streets in Cal-
zada and the reforestation of part of the Morro
de Calzada.
We hope that this organisation will become
very active, and that they can motive students
in other cities to initiate similar activities.
Botanical Garden
During the winter months (or summer in
Peru) we organised the summer-school with
various activities for the children of the
quarter around the Botanical Garden. We
also organised this year actions during the
annual “Moyobamba Tourism Week”.
One of our students has worked on a pro-
ject for the development of the Education
Centre. However, as one of the main prob-
lems stays the lack of interest and commit-
ment to our work by the Association that is
supposed to manage the Botanical Garden,
we have to reconsider the time that we invest.
We possible will restrict our work to some an-
nual activities, instead of the implantation of a
real educational centre.
Sustainable tourism
Tourism is an important economical activity for
Moyobamba. For many tourist its main attrac-
tiveness is the rich nature.

Workshop on illegal wildlife trade
Activities in the Botanical garden
However, to attract the attention to this nature,
many restaurants, hotels and other tourism
companies feel the need to present stuffed
animals, skins or other parts of (endangered)
animals. The owners are rarely aware of the
effect that this may have on the behaviour of
the tourist, and on the wild populations of ani-
mals. Together with governmental organisa-
tions (Tourism Board, Department of Natural
Resources) and NPC we organised a work-
shop, to discuss the problems and to inform
the tourism companies (hotels, restaurants)
about the problem.
The workshop resulted in agreements on the
continuation of workshops and other educa-
tional activities on this subject. Several com-
panies have agreed to hand in their animal
parts to the authorities, and the authorities will
be more active in visiting companies to confis-
cate illegal animal parts.
Native communities
In 2011 we have expanded our activities with
the native communities (Awajun or Aguaruna).
The communities own much land with Titi mon-
key habitat, and cooperation is therefore impor-
tant.
A major event was the translation of our popu-
lar comic book “Carlos y la Selva Tropical” in
the Awajun language. This translation, and re-
design, was co-funded by the German Interna-
tional Development Service (GIZ, formerly
GTZ). The comic now has the beautiful name:
“Etsa ikaman augmatui”. For this project we
cooperated not only with the GIZ, but also with
the FERIAAM (Federation of Awajun people in
the Alto Mayo) and IKAM Vida Verde (an Awa-
jun organisation for nature conservation).
The original Spanish comic was redesigned in
a more Awajun style, and completely written in
Awajun. Thousands of booklets will be
distributed to all children in the Awajun villages.
The presentations will be accompanied by a
two-hour nature education course.
We intend to expand our work with the Awajun
communities in 2012.
Other educational activities
Our education team accompanied the other
members of Proyecto Mono Tocón during their
work in the Bosque de Protección Alto Mayo
and in Mariscal Cáceres to conduct the educa-
tion work for these projects.

Publicity and participations
Publicity
Proyecto Mono Tocón has produced in 2011
only one (electronically) newsletter in the
Spanish language, which has been distributed
to collaborators and partners. Due to other obli-
gations, the director of the project had not time
to produce English newsletters. We hope that
this will be better in 2012.
The website received several updates. News
was mainly shared through Facebook, with al-
most 1300 (!!) followers.
We made contributions to ARKive (pictures)
and “All the Worlds Primates”.
On the 17th till the 22nd of October our team
participated to the “First Primatology Sympo-
sium of Peru”. Thanks to the financial support
of CEPA and GIZ, we could be present with 4
persons. The presence Proyecto Mono Tocón
could not be missed, as our team-members
made several oral and poster presentations
and were part of round table discussions.
Participation in Conservation
management committees
Proyecto Mono Tocón retrieved from the
management committee of the Bosque de Pro-
tección Alto Mayo (BPAM).
Since April 2010 Proyecto Mono Tocón takes
part in the “Compensation for Ecosystem Ser-
vices management committee” of the Mishqui-
yacu-Rumiyacu and Almendra reserves, where
populations of Callicebus oenanthe occur. A
proposal for additional funding through the
FONDAM was rejected, but will be adjusted
and presented again in 2012.
Proyecto Mono Tocón is part of the Comisión
Ambiental Regional, which regroups public and
private institutions of the San Martin region and
which is supposed to implement the environ-
mental policy of the region. Proyecto Mono
Tocón is in the Biodiversity and Nature Educa-
tion group, sharing our experiences and ideas
with the other members. This work has proven
to be important for the collaboration that is
needed for our other tasks.

for capacitating of our members, the diffusion
of our project and the cooperation with other
institutions. In many cases, one of us made a
presentation on the project and its develop-
ment. ☼

We want to thank our supporters and partners
for their continuing support, encouragement and
trust.
Without you, our work for the conservation of
Peru's nature would be impossible.
Our whole team is extremely thankful, we hope
that you will continue to support us in the co-
ming years and that others will join us.
