Most of the primates of the reserve are born in captivity. Some before we found a house in the forest, lived with people as Pets, where they were kept mostly in the cells. Others were rejected by their mothers, as primates raised in isolation, rarely learn to nurture their young. After rehabilitation center these animals were again members of their own species and, ultimately, came together with his family group. Many of the 28 species of the reserve are endangered, mainly due to the reduction of habitat due to deforestation and poaching.
