Join scientists on their quest to solve the mysteries surrounding the lives of woolly monkeys before it's too late.

But new conservation methods, including rescuing and hand-feeding vulnerable chicks, are giving experts hope. Can volunteers and scientists help save Africa's only penguins before it's too late?
