The mantled howler monkey faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation for agriculture and logging, as well as hunting. While specific large-scale recovery programs are not widely publicized, the protection of its forest habitat is crucial for its survival. Responsible safari tourism helps by providing economic incentives for local communities to conserve forests, which in turn protects the mantled howler and its home.
The mantled howler is a species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, from Central and South America. It is one of the monkey species most often seen and heard in the wild in Central America. It takes its "mantled" name from the long guard hairs on its sides.
