The main threat is the destrucion of the habitat by forestrod and conversion to pastureareas.
The International Union rated Aotus cf. lemurinus as vulnerable A2c, what means that the education in population size based on an observed, estimated, inferred or suspected population size reduction f ≥ 30% over the last 10 years or three generations, whichever is the longer, where the reduction or its causes may not have ceased OR may not be understood OR may not be reversible, related on a decline in area of occupancy, extent of occurrence and/or quality of habitat.
So there is no primary danger through human. It is a secondary. By building houses, streets, etc.
In extreme cases, the creation of isolated patches could result in the interruption of wildlife movements between local populations.
Habitat fragmentation creates small and isolated subpopulations, rising extinction probabilities due to demographic, environmental, and genetic forces.
Other bigger dangers are streets and power lines
