The Woolly Monkey Mysteries: The Quest to Save a Rain Forest Species

Sandra Markle

Scientists working in the Amazon Basin’s cloud forests set up many camera traps to investigate elusive woolly monkeys. The study takes place in a Peruvian reserve and concerns an endangered species described as important to rainforest survival. Woolly monkeys appear high in the forest canopy, sitting on branches and eating fruit. Photographs and the book’s format support the scientific investigation.
