Help us build a bigger and better enclosure for the spider monkeys!
Our mission is to save the endangered spider monkey of the Ecuadorian Amazon, the white-bellied spider monkey. These monkeys are essential gardeners for the rainforest environment, but their numbers have drastically decreased over the past years.
At amaZOOnico, six spider monkeys are dreaming of a new 1-hectare, roofless enclosure. This space will allow them to live among full-sized trees, experience reduced stress, and practice natural behaviors—essential steps toward their successful release into the wild.
Your support can help us make this dream a reality!
This new enclosure is a critical step in the rehabilitation of spider monkeys.
For monkeys ready for release: The enclosure mimics natural conditions, preparing them for survival in the jungle.
For those unable to be released: It provides a sanctuary that significantly improves their quality of life.
It will allow them to live more naturally among full-sized trees, increasing their chances of success once back in the wild.
We need to raise $20,000 to make this enclosure a reality.
Donations will help cover materials for the enclosure and wages and food for local workers.
