After eight years of scientific research conducted by Wildlife Conservation Society on the two Callicebus endemic species of Beni, efforts focused on the dissemination of information and raising awareness of local people about the importance of their conservation. To this end, during 2011 and 2012, the project "Strategic Outreach for the Conservation of Bolivian Endemic Titi Monkeys (Callicebus modestus and Callicebus olallae)” was carried out with the support of a grant provided by the Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) to three Bolivian biologists: Zulia Porcel, Pamela Carvajal and Cecilia Flores. The project was also supported by the Wildlife Conservation Society.
At the completion of the project awareness was raised among 4,000 people from the municipalities of Santa Rosa del Yacuma and Reyes, mostly children and young people from the 24 educational units and 11 communities with confirmed presence of titi monkeys (lucachis), the activities were conducted with close collaboration of the authorities of both municipalities. Educational activities contributed to significantly improve the level of knowledge that local people had of the existence and importance of endemic lucachis and municipal protected areas, raising their interest and commitment to conservation. Also important was the participation of communities in adding new registers of Callicebus modestus groups and complementing information on their distribution and highlighting those important sites for conservation.
Both for Santa Rosa del Yacuma as to Reyes, the lucachis are a symbol of beauty and richness of flora and fauna of forests and tropical savannas of the region, and represent one of the main attractions for tourism development. For this reason, the Municipal Government of Santa Rosa has considered establishing a touristic route called "Lucachis route" through the communities of Awaisal and Villa Fatima, to promote the protection of the habitat of the species and improve the living conditions of their population.
Although successful results has been achieved in disseminating scientific information of endemic lucachis, it is essential to continue these activities, particularly the ones related to the municipal protected areas of the Pampas del Yacuma and Los Santos Reyes, home to significant populations of both species. It is also recommended to develop regulations to protect the forests where these species live.
