Abstract

This note reports on three sightings, in 2005, of muriquis in a forest on private land to the north of the Augusto Ruschi Biological Reserve. The forest there is dense montane evergreen forest. The sightings were of four, three and four individuals respectively, one of them including a female with an infant. We emphasize the importance of maintaining forest patches on private land and their role in enhancing the survival of populations of threatened species in small protected areas such as the Augusto Ruschi Biological Reserve.
