A specimen of a spider monkey that lives in the trees adjacent to the new municipal palace of Playa del Carmen will be relocated by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa).
The primate, which is a young female with wild behavior, was spotted last week in the treetops. Profepa personnel, in collaboration with members of the Balam Kaan Wild Participatory Environmental Monitoring Committee, are already on the site carrying out a prospecting tour. The authorities have called on citizens to avoid interacting with the spider monkey, not offer it food, and not try to pet it. Recommendations have been given to Council staff to preserve the safety of the animal while its relocation takes place.
