🐒 Meet one of the rarest primates on Earth - the Northern Muriqui Monkey: 🫂 The Northern Murquis are some of the most peaceful primates, living in equality where relationships are free of conflict, and instead full of hugs. 🔴 Fewer than 1,000 individuals remain, scattered across about a dozen fragmented patches of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. 🏞️ Re:wild senior associate scientist, Dr. Karen Strier with projmuriquicaratinga, has been working with Brazilian students and colleagues in one of the last remaining strongholds for Northern Muriquis. Today, over 1/4 of the entire Northern Muriqui Monkey population lives within this protected area. 💪 Together we are working to save the world’s most peaceful primate for perpetuity! #rewild #NorthernMuriqui #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeConservation #AtlanticForest #PrimatesOfTheWorld Photo credit: Pablo Fernicola
