Since there are not exactly groups or certain laws, beside the obvious ones, dedicated to helping this creature, we need to take these things upon ourselves with the help of others by reaching out with information.





One solution to the problem of deforestation, along with habitat loss and tourism, would be to keep certain areas set aside that would be alright to allow people to walk through and explore, while the other areas in which the animal actually resides. This allows the country to still make money from tourism, especially if it's a popular place, but there won't be much, if any, harm to the surrounding places (5).
