The Challenge

Fewer than 1,000 yellow-tailed woolly monkeys remain in the wilds of Peru. In Argentina, the brown howler monkey population has dwindled to just 50 individuals, and the Colombian black spider monkey is Critically Endangered in Colombia. These dire numbers highlight the urgent need for conservation efforts. Habitat loss, hunting, and other human pressures continue to threaten these primates, pushing them closer to extinction. Despite the alarming state of these populations, hope remains—local communities have the potential to turn the tide for these species with the right support and resources.

Urgent Solutions

NPC works hand-in-hand with local communities, equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to safeguard habitats, enforce protections, and address critical threats like deforestation and hunting. By empowering local people to take an active role in conservation, NPC not only helps secure the survival of species like the yellow-tailed woolly monkey, brown howler monkey, and Colombian black spider monkey but also strengthens the ecosystems these primates call home. Together, NPC and their local partners are creating a future where wildlife and communities thrive side by side.

Why your donation matters

Yellow-tailed woolly monkeys in Peru number fewer than 1,000, brown howler monkeys in Argentina have dwindled to just 50 individuals, and the Colombian black spider monkey is Critically Endangered in its native range.
