This work immediately takes us to a jungle.
To know more about native and endemic species of Argentina mainly. Platyrrhines are New World arboreal primates that live in the tropical rain forests of America. They are all characterized by being able to live in community.
The artist expresses himself with excitement to protect them, make them known, enter into an environmental debate and thus strengthen the forests.
MONKEYS inhabit the provinces of Chaco, Misiones, Corrientes, Formosa, Tucumán, Jujuy and Salta. The main problems for these primates are: the large-scale fragmentation and deforestation of their habitats, illegal hunting and wildlife trafficking.
MONKEYS – MODULE A
On the scene appears a group of red carayá monkeys, whose scientific name is alouatta guariba. The artist presents how they are in coexistence and the camaraderie that the species can demonstrate in the same space. They are known as carayá pitá, red carayá or reddish brown carayá; also as northern brown howler monkeys. They live in high jungles from southeastern Brazil to extreme northeastern Argentina. They are diurnal habits.
MONKEYS – MODULE B
In this module we find the black or howler carayá and the caí bayo or caí of Yungas. Howler monkeys are named for their amazing roar. Despite being primates weighing just seven kilos, almost like a small dog, the sound they produce with their throats reaches a frequency similar to the one a tiger does, which makes them seem larger than they are, there are also golden ones. Caí monkeys are very curious and expressive, due to their charisma they are easy to catch and to be sold or enslaved.
