EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Green Monkey, scientifically known as Simis sabaea, also referred to as the Callitriche monkey or the Cape Verde monkey. The monkey's distinctive green hair on its upper body contrasts strikingly with its silver underbelly, making it a visually striking creature. This photograph, taken in the late 18th century, provides a historical glimpse into the natural world of the past. The Green Monkey is native to the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa and parts of North Africa. This primate was once described by both Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, and Thomas Bewick in their respective natural history works. Buffon, in his "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière," referred to the monkey as the "Callitriche," while Bewick, in his "General History of Quadrupeds," called it the "Green Monkey of the Cape de Verd Islands." The Green Monkey is an important part of the natural history of the Cape Verde Islands and North Africa. Its unique appearance and adaptation to its environment have made it a subject of fascination for naturalists and explorers throughout history. This photograph, taken over two centuries ago, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when the natural world was still largely unexplored and misunderstood. Despite its historical significance, the Green Monkey remains a relatively elusive and little-studied species today. Its population is believed to be declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, making conservation efforts essential to ensure its continued survival. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting its wonders for future generations.
