The Bald and Endangered Red Uakari

The red uakari, sometimes called the bald uakari, makes its home in the Amazon’s swampy areas, and is listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN Red List, and their population is declining.

Like all species in the Amazon, its biggest threat is habitat loss — but they are also hunted and sold for food, and vulnerable to malaria.
