from the best of my knowledge there’s no one that has seen a bio spider monkeys
one that has seen a bio spider monkeys
one that has seen a bio spider monkeys in the field it’s very beautiful but
in the field it’s very beautiful but
in the field it’s very beautiful but it’s also telling a pretty sad story
it’s also telling a pretty sad story
it’s also telling a pretty sad story about the species
I am a primatologist I have been working
I am a primatologist I have been working with spider monkeys over 15 years and I
with spider monkeys over 15 years and I
with spider monkeys over 15 years and I run this project in San Juan de Cali
run this project in San Juan de Cali
run this project in San Juan de Cali about the conservation of brown spider
about the conservation of brown spider
about the conservation of brown spider monkeys spider monkeys rely very
monkeys spider monkeys rely very
monkeys spider monkeys rely very strongly on large mature forests that
strongly on large mature forests that
strongly on large mature forests that have enough fruits that are their main

diet if these monkeys are very important for the forests to dispersers but
for the forests to dispersers but
for the forests to dispersers but they’re also very charismatic they’re
they’re also very charismatic they’re
they’re also very charismatic they’re the largest primates we have in in
the largest primates we have in in
the largest primates we have in in northern South America you can still
northern South America you can still
northern South America you can still find some patches of forest in northern
find some patches of forest in northern
find some patches of forest in northern Colombia but it’s very difficult that
Colombia but it’s very difficult that
Colombia but it’s very difficult that you’ll be able to find a forest that has
you’ll be able to find a forest that has
you’ll be able to find a forest that has a healthy population of brown spider

these primates a long-term process so
these primates a long-term process so every day brings small surprises you
every day brings small surprises you
every day brings small surprises you never know what’s going to happen as I
never know what’s going to happen as I
never know what’s going to happen as I had heard that there was a monkey that
had heard that there was a monkey that
had heard that there was a monkey that was not quite I had the same as the rest
was not quite I had the same as the rest
was not quite I had the same as the rest of the study group so we were going to
of the study group so we were going to
of the study group so we were going to see what was going on and when we got to
see what was going on and when we got to
see what was going on and when we got to the forest and actually saw them it was
the forest and actually saw them it was
the forest and actually saw them it was a big surprise it looked much like if it
a big surprise it looked much like if it
a big surprise it looked much like if it was another species
they’re right on top of us when we got
they’re right on top of us when we got to the forest and saw them it was
to the forest and saw them it was
to the forest and saw them it was completely white it was quite strange
completely white it was quite strange
completely white it was quite strange because none of the spider monkeys alive
because none of the spider monkeys alive
because none of the spider monkeys alive today are white what was more surprising
today are white what was more surprising
today are white what was more surprising was the couple months later his brother
was the couple months later his brother
was the couple months later his brother was born and he was also white he was
was born and he was also white he was
was born and he was also white he was also on the vine at the beginning it was
also on the vine at the beginning it was
also on the vine at the beginning it was just something intriguing why are these

just something intriguing why are these monkeys white why are they all – but we
monkeys white why are they all – but we
monkeys white why are they all – but we never felt very much beyond it – spider
never felt very much beyond it – spider
never felt very much beyond it – spider monkeys are telling us that probably

bred what we’re having is a story where these monkeys that we’re seeing are
these monkeys that we’re seeing are
these monkeys that we’re seeing are really destined to extinction because

really destined to extinction because they’re not going to have enough
they’re not going to have enough
they’re not going to have enough variability to cope with the changing

a main threat to brown spider monkeys is
a main threat to brown spider monkeys is the transformation of forests into
the transformation of forests into
the transformation of forests into cattle ranching and agricultural fields
cattle ranching and agricultural fields
cattle ranching and agricultural fields habitat is being lost at very fast rate
very few people have seen albino spider
very few people have seen albino spider monkeys these are the only albinos that
monkeys these are the only albinos that

pretty sad story about the probable fate of this primate if we don’t do anything
of this primate if we don’t do anything
of this primate if we don’t do anything to preserve them or save them
we’re right in one of the last moments
we’re right in one of the last moments where I think we could do something to

lot of their habitat a lot of the biodiversity of northern South America
we could do something that we need to
we could do something that we need to act now these populations are in in very
