# Conservationists hope the birth of a monkey will help raise awareness of a vulnerable breed threatened by deforestation of its habitat. Northumberland College Zoo in Kirkley, England in December last year welcomed a new baby Goeldi’s monkey as part of its conservation breeding programme and the zoo said it was “thriving”. The species is classed as “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and sits on the organisation’s Red List of Threatened Species. The zoo in 2023 received a pair of Goeldi’s monkeys for breeding purposes.
