Although the number of thick-tailed baby monkeys is not small, they have also been added to the Red List of the World Conservation Union and listed as vulnerable animals. Due to hunting and environmental reasons, the number is decreasing.

Protect wild animals and eliminate game.

Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
