Mini Monkeys of Brazil

We all know of the Amazon rain forest. But there was once another great forest in Brazil the Atlantic Rain Forest. Today there's only 2% of it remaining and the mini monkeys that once lived there are struggling for survival.

When you talk of Brazil's wildlife you tend to think of the Amazon rain forest. But few peole realise there is, or was once another forest just a big and just as bio diverse. The Atlantic rain forest.

It strech for more than 1000 miles along the Atlantic coast and inland to the eastern boarders of Brazil. Today there is less then 2% of the amazing forest and the wildlife that used to exist there is albut gone.

Those species that remain are fighting for survival, teetering on the edge of extinction. Species like the Golden Lion tamerine, the Wooley Spider Monkey, and many many more.

In this episode of Before It's Too Late we look at the many Mini Monkeys of Brazil who are fighting for surtvival.

Unfortunatley history is about to repeat itself. Because we have failed to learn from our mistakes of the past. Because what happened to the Atlantic forest is happening to the Amazon.

We meet the people in the south of the country who are battling to save the Golden Lion tamarines, and the Wooley Spider monkey. We see wonderful vision of the animals in the wild. But many of the tamarins weren't born in the wild they were born in zoos around the world and shipped back to re populate the forest. We see them being taught how to suvive in the wild. We also discover that there is no more room left for them. The remaining forest fragments are now full.

We also mee the people in the Amazon who are trying to stop the destruction of the rain forest there. We see the beautiful pied faced tamarins and many other species of mini monkeys including species that have only just been discovered and aren't even named yet.

@HistoryHmoobGuy You are clearly a young, mildly educated person. Slightly offensive, you'll have trouble ever making a valid Point. I wish you well, but you've got some interesting days ahead.

@stephen3398 it is,,,white people are responsible for more animal extinction then any other race, and mostly due to over hunting and slaughter.

white people are also responsible for destroying so many culture....Look at brazil !, they are all mutts

[stephen3398]

@HistoryHmoobGuy oh! it's whitey's fault......got it!

[HistoryHmoobGuy]

@stephen3398 dont blame them, blame the white colonist who killed and ate everything

Over 200 + years European "white" people also invade the north in what today we are indoctrinated to call the USA! Europeans (occupying "Brazil") of Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French etc., ancestry have a beautiful home land to live and grow: Europe! An those Afro-African "blacks" should also begin to view West sub-Saharan Africa as home, too!
