SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Noga Shanee, con-founder of Neotropical Primate Conservation: \u003cbr/\u003e\"The yellow tail wooly monkey is one of the most endangered primates in the world, according to scientific studies there are at least 250 individuals in the whole world, and they are all in danger, there is the deforestation, the illegal hunting of these animals, there are many being sold in the illegal market (for pets) in the Amazonian region.\" \u003cbr/\u003eAmazon Jungle, Peru -  July 2008\u003cbr/\u003e11. Wide shot of a group yellow tail wooly monkeys in a tree protecting themselves from the rain\u003cbr/\u003eThe rare Peruvian Woolly Yellow-tailed monkey, also known as Oreonax flavicauda, is among the 25 most critically endangered species in the world. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, there are only some 250 of them left. \u003cbr/\u003eNow, in a first-of-its-kind project for the species, the Neotropical Primate Conservation Organisation (NPC) is developing a tandem conservation and survey project in a remote area of the Peruvian jungle.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's designed to not only learn more about the elusive primates, but to protect them against a mounting array of threats. \u003cbr/\u003eA rare species that has suffered as its habitat has been destroyed through illegal logging, slash-and-burn agricultural practices and poaching. The Peruvian Woolly Yellow-tailed monkey has not been studied much, owing to the difficulties of conducting research in their natural terrain. \u003cbr/\u003eThe species is endemic to a small, highly biodiverse cloud forest of the Tropical Andes some 580 kilometres / 360.395 miles north of Lima, which is itself an endangered ecosystem.\u003cbr/\u003eThe situation of this rare monkey is so acute that the Neotropical Primate Conservation Organisation (NPC) has  extended what started as a survey project into a conservation initiative \u003cbr/\u003eFounder of the NPC, Sam Shanee, says when he and his team arrived to survey monkeys in the area they found high rates of deforestation and people offering baby monkeys of the rare species for sale.  This prompted him to extend the surveillance project into a conservation effort. \u003cbr/\u003eThe  Peruvian Woolly Yellow-tailed was first described by the German scientist Alexander von Humboldt in 1812 while on expedition. \u003cbr/\u003eAt the beginning of the 20th century, however, the species was believed to be extinct. \u003cbr/\u003eIt wasn't until 1974 that a Peruvian-U.S. expedition re-discovered the primates. \u003cbr/\u003eKey to its downfall is the monkey's tendency to trust humans. Poachers have taken advantage of this lack of fear to kill adult monkeys before selling them as food, or to be used in witchcraft or as pets. \u003cbr/\u003eOften when the monkeys hear logging machines or hunters' guns, instead of running away, they come closer in order to defend their territory. \u003cbr/\u003e\"There are still so many threats to them -- there's deforestation, poaching, and illegal trade (of the infants) as pets in the Amazon region,\" says Noga Shanee, the co-founder of NPC.\u003cbr/\u003eThe infants that are taken after the adults are killed, are sold for a few dollars as pets and often do not survive more than a month in captivity, she adds.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Shanees say that the work of the NPC, a British non-governmental organisation, in addition to research into the native fauna of the region, will focus on environmental education for the local population to help realise the benefits of conservation and sustainable development, as well as the dangers of deforestation.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe Woolly Yellow-tailed monkey is the largest of the three endemic monkey species of Peru. \u003cbr/\u003eIts name comes from the dense yellow fur that can be found in the area beneath its long tail. \u003cbr/\u003eIts sitting height is 70 to 80 centimetres.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe Variegated Spider monkey, which is found in Colombia and Venezuela, and the Brown-headed Spider monkey, found in Colombia and Ecuador, are also on the IUCN's list of 25 most endangered monkey species. \u003cbr/\u003eThe IUNC will hold a world conference in Barcelona on October 6th to address the situation of the world's endangered species. \u003cbr/\u003eKeyword animals\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
