What habitats do Roloway monkeys prefer?
All animals and plants are adapted to the environment in which they live.
*Adaptations help them
survive. When their environment or habitat changes, plants and animals
must also change and adapt. It is very important when studying animals
in the wild to try to understand how a particular animal has adapted to
its habitat.
This
study hopes to examine the relationship between where Roloway monkeys
are found and the types of habitats they favor most. Once scientists understand
this, then habitats that are critical to the Roloway's survival can be
protected.
So what?
How does answering the question, "What habitats do Roloway monkeys
prefer?" help us create a conservation plan that protects the monkeys
and benefits the local people?
You can find out what data we collected and the tools we used to collect
the data by checking the daily data
page. Just like us though, you will need to analyze the data in order
to draw any conclusions.

Roloway monkeys are found primarily in mature undisturbed forest but have been reported in secondary forest and farmland as well. |
