It is hunted for food because the people who live there are poor.
Only 82, when they were first discovered in 2008. Estimated to only be 250 remaining worldwide.
Unknown but close to extinction.
Air quality: It is estimated that over 20% of the world's oxygen is produced in the Amazon. The trees clean the air from pollution by sucking up Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and breathing out Oxygen. This also helps the trees to grow. The Amazon is often called the 'lungs of our planet'.
Water : The rainfall in the Amazon influences rainfall as far away as Central America and the United States. The people also rely on the river for transport and for generating food and other products.
Biodiversity: As the home to more species and plants than anywhere in the world, the Amazon rainforest flora and fauna are relied on for food, medicine and other products like clothing.
Ecosystem: The lakes and rivers control regional and local climates so it will not be too hot.
The main cause of habitat destruction is agriculture (ranching and illegal crop cultivation) and the introduction of other species and chemicals that pollute the land.
As it is a war zone, the barbed wire fences put in, fragment the land making the monkeys vulnerable to predators and hunting.
1. Creating protected reserves for them to live safely.
2. Breeding program in partnership with zoos.
3. Educating the local people to not hunt them for food. Maybe provide them with alternative food sources.
4. Computer tracking and monitoring.
Special project: Give the Caqueta Titi Monkey a 'flagship species status' similar to the Golden Lion Tamarin. People could 'adopt' (sponsor)
a Caqueta Titii Monkey from breeding to release into the rainforest. Tracking devices let you see where they are from a special 'app'/ on your phone.
Native only to Peru, it can be found in cooler altitudes ( 3,000-3,100 m high).
It is estimated to only exist in an area less than 500 square kms.
Special project: Get existing seedlings from orchid enthusiasts and grow them in botanical gardens (plant zoos). In future, they can be reproduced to be replanted in the wild.
It is grown by orchid enthusiasts.
You can buy them for USD$15 online.
It is listed in the CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Appendix II which means you can only trade if you have a special permit.
Unknown as only two specimen collections have ever been collected in the wild.
The main threat is deforestation due to
agricultural development, forest reduction and logging.
As it grown by orchid enthusiasts, there is also the threat of it being collected from the wild for sale.
Unknown. The two specimen collections were not found in protected areas however so the risk of extinction is high.
