Instead of competing aggressively with one another, males bond closely which generates strong group cohesion and calm social relations. \u00a0The young are born helpless and mature slowly, so adults invest much time raising each offspring.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Habitat<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Muriquis were once found throughout the Atlantic forest of southern Brazil. \u00a0Despite rampant habitat destruction, Muriquis survive in several isolated patches of both primary and secondary forests between 600 and 1800 m (1969 and 5906 ft) above sea level and exhibit flexibility in their habitat requirements.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Distribution and Population Size<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Muriquis can be found in isolated pockets of mountainous forest in southern Brazil in the states of Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Parana, and Minas Gerais.\u00a0 They are distinctly separated into northern and southern regions, with the northern region including populations in the states of Minas Gerais, Esp\u00edrito Santo, and Bahia, and the southern population existing in the states of southern Minas Gerais, southern Rio de Janeiro, and S\u00e3o Paulo. \u00a0The populations are separated not only by human development and lack of contiguous forest, but also by riverine barriers such as the Rio Grande, the Rio Paraiba do Sul, or the Serra da Mantiqueira.\u00a0 The current Muriqui population is estimated at 2,000 in isolated pockets, a dramatic drop from original levels of approximately 400,000.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Threats to Survival<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are two main threats to survival. \u00a0One is habitat loss &#8211; an estimated 5% of the original Atlantic forest cover remains, with only 1% in pristine condition. \u00a0The other is illegal hunting &#8211; the Muriqui&rsquo;s docile nature and large size make it an easy and attractive target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project leader for Muriqui recovery was the Instituto de Pesquisas Ecologicas (IPE), WPC&rsquo;s partner in Brazil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-overseas-species"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
