But in the kiboko, the forests are experiencing rapid decay from human pressures. For example, from the 1990s to 2009, commercial fishing weakened the coastal forests of western Congo, exposing formerly protected areas to illegal logging and fishing activity. Olson says this has led to a large decrease in population of some of the region’s white-bellied spider monkeys. Monkeys are used to provide meat to local villagers, but as the diet has changed they have begun eating fruits and other foods to excess, especially when stressed. Crushed bones from the monkeys are used as an ingredient in the local forge industry. The main health problem for wild monkeys is sudden death from a bite or an infected wound. Most anti-poaching patrols are manned by rangers from local community groups, who don’t have the resources to conduct the large-scale anti-poaching patrols that the park relies on. Instead the patrols focus on particular hotspots at night, using mobile cameras to document illegal activity for law enforcement and national parks authorities.
