National Geographic grantee and WCS-Brasil Conservation Scientist Jean Boubli travels to Brazil’s Rio Negro in Amazon rain forest to search for a wedge-capped capuchin, a primate that historically is not known to inhabit the region.

The primatologist is able to document the monkey on film for the first time ever and collect genetic samples to help determine if this is a new taxon.

The results could lead to these animals and their habitat being better protected.
