Best Answer

Snub Nosed-Monkeys are valued for their meat especially in countries like Malaysia, China, Vietnam, The Philippines, Maritius, and Indonesia. To capture them and sell them as pets on the black market, they are caught very brutally in most countries with group snare traps, and undesirable animals that are caught are beaten to death and sold for meat. Particularly the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey is killed and sold for it fiery orange-red fur. The second most common reason for their endangerment is illegal and legal logging, which is also a problem for many other endangered species of both animals and plants. The least of the problems for its endangerment is natural change which they can adapt to easily within a couple of weeks, except the youngest ones have more trouble than mature ones, and they can die easily.

They are becoming endangered because of loss of habitats, hunting for their meat and the pet trade. They are also the rarest monkey in all of Africa. *Hope that helped.:)
