Is the Spider Monkey Worth Saving? There are less than 2,000 packets of spider monkeys left in the world. Also spider monkeys give birth to only one offspring every three to four years. The spider monkey is not worth trying to save. There are many reasons of why they aren’t worth saving. Some of these reasons include money, reproduction, and the activity of spider monkeys. Spider monkeys live in the tropical rain forests of South America. They have long arms and legs for swinging around forest canopies. The monkeys got there name because of their long limbs, which gives them the look of a spider. They spend most of their time swinging through trees and foraging …show more content…
If we tried to save the spider monkey we would fail. There are not enough spider monkeys left in the world to save their species. The reason for this is they cannot reproduce fast enough. Three to four years is too long with how fast the monkeys are dying off.
Spider monkeys don’t benefit us or any other living thing. They spend all day swinging from trees and eating. They don’t eat anything that is harmful, and they don’t help us get anything we need. So because they don’t affect us now it wouldn’t affect us if they went extinct. That is why spider monkeys don’t benefit us.
It is too expensive to try and save the spider monkey. Just to feed only 24 spider monkeys it would cost about 9,125 dollars every year. It would cost a lot more to take care of the spider monkeys’ every need. It is too much money to risk trying to save them. There aren’t many spider monkeys left, so they may not survive even if we tried to save them. We also need the money for other issues. The money could be used for something like purifying water. If we did that then it would benefit everyone including endangered species. That is why we shouldn’t put money towards saving the spider
