A newborn monkey experiences a terrifying moment high in the forest canopy. Still fragile and unsteady, he clings to rough bark as the wind sways branches beneath him. His tiny fingers struggle for grip, and fear seems to freeze his small body. Below, the forest floor feels impossibly far away. Nearby calls echo, yet help seems distant as seconds stretch painfully long. With a final burst of instinct, the baby steadies himself, pressing close to the tree. The moment passes, leaving trembling relief and a powerful reminder of how vulnerable new life can be in wild places everywhere today alone.
