What can you do?

Take Action! They are losing their habitat due to deforestation, so cut down on the amount of paper products that you buy and use. If you have to purchase paper products, purchase those that are made from recycled products. Support brands that have a zero deforestation policy.
Educate your friends, family, and community about how these actions can impact forests and thousands of species.

Stay Informed! Sign up to receive newsletters from organizations such as the WWF and National Geographic. These can keep you up to date on not only the black spider monkeys but also other endangered species.

Donate! Many conservation organizations have limited funds, especially since governments do not always give large quantities of their tax dollars to them. Set a goal of how much you want to donate yearly and stick to it. Never think that your contribution is useless. Every little bit helps.
