Best Answer

Spider monkeys are endangered because humans are cutting down trees from the rainforests at a rate of a football field every day, and the monkeys are having trouble finding suitable places to live.

Like most animals, they are subject to hunting by humans as food, capture as pets, and the destruction of their rainforest habitat by human development.

Primates like the spider monkey bear comparatively small numbers of young, and can suffer dramatic reduction in their populations over a relatively short period of years.

The population are not critically endangered, it is due to the destruction and fragmentation that the numbers are gradually decreasing. But there is another explanation Native South American tribes hunt the Howler for food, as do predators like the Harpy Eagle and many more.

They are endangered by fragmentation of forests. Also they are specialized for eating leaves which do not produce enough energy. But they can adapt to enviromental changes better than other monkeys.

Howler monkeys were hunted down by humans. Their habitats were destroyed yet again by humans. Howler monkeys, as a specie were captured and captivated for display (Such as zoos).
