Spider monkeys are endangered because humans are cutting down trees from the rainforests at a rate of a football field every day, and the monkeys are having trouble finding suitable places to live.

Like most animals, they are subject to hunting by humans as food, capture as pets, and the destruction of their rainforest habitat by human development.

Primates like the spider monkey bear comparatively small numbers of young, and can suffer dramatic reduction in their populations over a relatively short period of years.
