Black lion tamarins live in one of Brazil's most beautiful, but fragile environments: The Atlantic Rainforest. Destruction of the forest has pushed the species to the brink of extinction. The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, an organisation dedicated to the protection of endangered species, came up with a project to save these monkeys, and turned to jersey's schoolchildren for help.
The Cans for Corridors scheme proves that by doing something as simple as recycling aluminium cans, we can make a real difference. The children embraced the scheme wholeheartedly, collecting cans in their thousands, all the while enabling the replanting of the rainforest.
Now, in this unique documentary, you can journey with Durrell's staff to Brazil to see the replanting mission in action. Follow them as they trek deep into the rainforest, tracking black lion tamarins in the wild.
And it's not just the animals benefiting from the generosity of Jersey's schoolchildren - meet their counterparts, the children of Brazil, growing up in a Recycled Rainforest.
