Overview
This research project examines the complex relationship between urban expansion and the survival of the tití monkey in Latin American cities. As urban boundaries push deeper into natural habitats, primate populations face unprecedented challenges.
Research Focus
The study explores how urban planning decisions directly affect wildlife corridors, canopy connectivity, and primate behavior patterns. By mapping the overlap between development zones and tití monkey territories, the research proposes actionable frameworks for coexistence.
Urban ecology is not about choosing between development and nature — it's about designing cities that make room for both.
Key Contributions
