#Mexico’s howler #monkeys dropping dead #shorts

Threatened howler monkeys have been dropping dead from trees in Mexico’s southeastern tropical forests in recent weeks amid extreme heat.

In a forest outside Camalcalco, Tabasco, volunteers collected the corpses of mantled howler monkeys that died from high temperatures, before placing buckets of water and fruit to try to stave off more deaths.

Gavino Garay explains why they’re dying and what’s being done to try and save them.
