As of late May, 147 monkeys have perished in the Mexican states of Tabasco and Chiapas. Many of the deceased monkeys exhibited severe dehydration. The heat and drought are drying up essential water sources, and rampant deforestation has reduced the monkeys’ access to shade, food, and water. Scientists are forming a working group to address this crisis, seeking funding for research into the underlying causes. Nonprofit and academic organizations in Mexico are also caring for surviving monkeys. This situation underscores the urgent need for planet-friendly solutions to combat climate change and protect all living beings.
