The Barbados Green Monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus) is a primate species found in the Caribbean island of Barbados. Its population is fragmented due to habitat loss and human activities. The primary threats to the Barbados Green Monkey include habitat destruction, deforestation, and capture for the pet trade. The expansion of agriculture and urbanization has resulted in the loss and fragmentation of their natural habitats. Conservation efforts involve protecting their remaining habitats and raising awareness about their conservation needs.
