Alta Floresta titi monkey Plecturocebus grovesi

The enchanting Groves Titi Monkey, also referred to as the Alta Floresta titi #monkey or Mato Grosso titi monkey went from being completely unknown to being one of the most critically endangered #primates in #SouthAmerica and the world. They made a remarkable entry into the spotlight only recently in 2016 when they were classified by scientists. They belong to the Eastern Amazonian clade of the red-bellied titi monkey (P. moloch) group and are known for their vividly coloured fur and rowdy rainforest vocalisations. They face multiple anthropogenic threats in #Brazil including hunting, #goldmining, #palmoil, #meat and #soy #deforestation and hydroelectric #dams. Help them to survive each time you shop, be #vegan and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
