The main cause of the woolly spider monkey's endangered status is habitat loss. The woolly spider monkey's habitat is being cleared for a variety of purposes, including logging, agriculture, and human settlement. This is causing the woolly spider monkey to lose its habitat and its ability to find food and shelter.
Hunting and poaching
Woolly spider monkeys are also hunted for their meat and fur. This is a major threat to their survival, as it is reducing the population size and preventing the species from reproducing.
Climate change
Climate change is also a threat to the woolly spider monkey. As the climate changes, the woolly spider monkey's habitat is becoming less suitable for its survival. This is causing the woolly spider monkey to move to new areas, where it may not be as well adapted and where it may face new threats.
