Saving Mono Titi documentary

The Gray-Crowned Red-Back Squirrel Monkey or Saimiri oerstedii citronellus, better know as "Mono Titi" is on the Red List of
Endangered Species of CITES. This is an endemic specie from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, meaning it's only found here and nowhere else in the world. Black-Crowned Red Backed Squirrel Monkeys are found in the Osa Peninsula, in southern Costa Rica and Saimiri sciurus or Common Squirrel monkeys are found along the Amazonian jungles of South
America. Manuel Antonio's little Titi Monkey is the rarest among these, with less than 2,000 individuals left. Arenas del Mar works as shelter for this little primate and it is part of the biological corridor that enlarges Manuel Antonio National Park. Titi Monkeys struggle with non-sustainable development in the area, and it's everyone's responsibility to ask the authorities to enforce the 3,000 environmental laws in Costa Rica's legislation. Also, not supporting invasive real estate development companies or non-sustainable touristic activities would improve the fate of the Titi Monkey. By picking Arenas del Mar (www.arenasdelmar.com) as your hotel you have made the right choice. If you want to know more check out the
