Please Help!

The red uakari (Cacajao calvus ucayalii), also known as the 'bald uakari' or 'uacari', is a rare Amazonian monkey. It is threatened by hunting, logging and habitat disturbance. This project, in the rainforests of Peru, aims to investigate and help conserve this striking primate.

This research, by Mark Bowler (Durrell Institute of Conservation & Ecology at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK) has been funded at various times by the Rufford Foundation, Primate Consevation Incorporated, Conservation International, Los Angeles Zoo & Wildlife Conservation Society.
