Goal: Educate local Peruvians about the dangers they pose to the survival of rare local monkey population

Corosha, in the heart of the cloudforests of northern Peru, is home to one of the world’s most threatened primates, the yellow-tailed woolly monkey. There are estimated to be fewer than 1,000 surviving members of the species. The monkeys are hunted for their meat, soft fur, and babies, which are often sold as pets. They’re particularly vulnerable because of their curiosity, which often draws them toward gunfire and the scene of other dead monkeys.
