Dwindling Numbers:
Although the Pygmy Marmoset is not considered endangered or threatened, it is not completely out of concern yet. The total number of Pygmy Marmosets in existence is not known, but it is known that the number is slowly dwindling. The main cause of this receding number is actually excessive pet trade. Many people consider the Pygmy Marmoset to be cute and adorable and who could blame them? The only problem is removing the animal out of its natural habitat. Many people will travel to the countries the Pygmy Marmoset inhabits and buy them as pets. They will take them home with them without the knowledge of how to properly take care of them. The other source is significant habitat destruction. These animals homes are in the rain forests, which are being destroyed day by day.
