Rio Mayo titi this species to survive, their forests need to be protected to avoid overpopulation. Different conservation groups are working to help "P. oenanthe" survive. Neotropical Primate Conservation, Proyecto Mono Tocón and Amazónicos para la Amazonia are working in the more southern areas to protect the monkey. The Rio Mayo titi is a fairly inconspicuous creature, making observation and research difficult to obtain. Therefore, the traditional use of transect observation to monitor the monkey's population, is less effective. Instead, other methods of calculating the titi monkey's density in certain areas have been taken, such as research into the species-specific calls endemic to
Ornate titi thickets, tangles, thorny underbrushes and wet or even waterlogged areas.
