Carayá monkeys will enjoy greater well-being at the facilities of the Tekove Mymba Foundation, located in Colonia San Anselmo, the Environment portfolio specified in a statement.
A 1,200-hectare estate is erected on the site “designed so that the species that spent a large part of their lives in captivity continue in a natural habitat similar to that of their origin.”

It all started when the national body of inspectors had rescued the primates in February of a campsite in the seaside resort of Aguas Verdes, in the Costa district, in an operation coordinated with the local municipality and the Directorate of Flora and Fauna of the province of Buenos Aires.
The specimens had been transferred to the rescue center of the Temaiken Foundation to receive the corresponding veterinary care.
The transfer activities were headed by the Undersecretary of Supervision and Recomposition, Jorge Etcharrán, and the Director of Environmental Inspections, Alejandro Mackielo, of the Secretariat of Environmental Control and Monitoring, led by Sergio Federovisky.
The action is part of the commitment of the National Environment portfolio to animal welfare and in pursuit of the fight against illegal wildlife trade.
