Brown+spider+monkey

Brown spider monkey's native habitat ranges from northern Colombia and north-western Venezuela. It's a critically endangerd species and only a few populations are big enough to be stable in the long run. Brown spider monkey is one of two neotropical primates. Meaning I'ts only one of two primate species in america. The Brown spider monkey's habitat is only 2% from what it used to be. This is due to... you guessed it! de forestation caused by an over heated lumber market and cattle witch needs huge amounts of fields to sustain a huge amount cattle for HUGE over weight people. Deforestation is a huge problem wich is not an easy one to solve. Lumber is a big part of export in many small and poor tropical countries and it provides at least some sort of income for the people. To stop deforestation and the distruction of the Brown spider monkeys habitat is to provide something that would bring the country the income to provide for the basic needs of the people. This is not to say that the exporting of lumber should stop alltogether but the rate of cutting down forests should be slowd so that it has time to recover. Also big natural parks should be created becouse forests that are grown for the lumber industry are not nearly as diverse than forests in their natural state. Joonas Syrjänen.
