Edits for Spix's Red Handed Howler so far[edit]
Geographic Range[edit]
The Spix's Red Handed Howler monkey (Alouatta discolor) is endemic to central Brazil, specifically along the southeastern Amazon.
Threats[edit]
The main threat to the Spix's Red Handed Howler monkey is habitat destruction. The area of central Brazil where Alouatta discolor resides is also subject to hunting, some of which is subsidence hunting. Main drivers of habitat destruction include logging, as well as land conversion for cattle ranching and soy plantations. Habitat fragmentation occurs by the presence of two major highways. The Cuiabá-Santarém highway runs through its range in a north-south direction and the Transamazon Highway runs through its habitat in a east-west direction.
