They can find food independently, and male activities are far greater than females, and they are more likely to be affected by seasonal fluctuations. At present, the number of Berte fox monkeys has continued to decrease, and the Red List of Endangered Species of the World Nature Protection Alliance (IUCN) is listed as extremely critical species.

The main threat to the species is due to Hatsake agricultural (Hatsake), the loss and degeneration of habitats caused by illegal logging for the production of charcoal, and illegal logging. If the forest is cut off, the remaining habitats and Bet fox monkeys may disappear by 2030.

Including China's biological diversity protection and Green Development Foundation (referred to as the "China Green Fair" and "Green Club"), and some non -governmental organizations and institutions, including the return of the field, are actively participating in the development and protection of the region.
