carlos77,

What species of Mexican spider monkey Alouatta spp.?

Are there any concerted efforts for primate breeding programmes in Mexico?

I think this is a subspecies of Geoffroy's spider monkey, probably Ateles geoffroyi vellerosus.

devilfish is correct. Many mexican zoos have breeding groups of this species of spider monkey, but to my knowledge only ZOOMAT in the southern state of Chiapas has sucessfully reintroduced spider monkeys to a natural reserve.
