EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant portrait, a young and innocent Peruvian woolly monkey (Lagothrix cana) gazes directly at the camera with a look of quiet introspection. This endangered primate, now a resident at Cetas-IBAMA, a wildlife rehabilitation center in Manaus, Brazil, was rescued after suffering from severe growth deformities due to poor nutrition. Tragically, her mother was likely killed for the pet trade, a cruel industry that continues to threaten the survival of this vulnerable species. Sitting against a pristine white background, the juvenile female monkey's rich, chocolate-brown fur stands out in stark contrast, highlighting her delicate features and the unique texture of her coat. Her deformities, a result of her past hardships, add an unexpected element of complexity to her otherwise adorable appearance. As a tourist destination and a place of interest, Cetas-IBAMA plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation and protection of animals like this Peruvian woolly monkey, which are often victims of human exploitation. The center, administered by IBAMA, the government wildlife agency of Brazil, offers a sanctuary for these animals, allowing them to live out their lives in a safe and nurturing environment. This vertical color image, captured by renowned wildlife photographer Joel Sartore, invites viewers to connect with this young monkey's story and raises awareness about the plight of endangered species, particularly those affected by the pet trade. The monkey's direct eye contact and unspoiled innocence evoke a sense of empathy and underscore the importance of conservation efforts. In a world where captivity and tourist attractions can sometimes overshadow the true needs of animals, this portrait serves as a reminder of the resilience and inherent worth of these precious creatures. It is a testament to the transformative power of care, compassion, and the commitment to preserving their natural habitats and ensuring their survival.
