Primates in peril

A global assessment of primates shows that a growing number of species struggled to survive the 20th Century, like this yellow cheeked crested gibbon. Without intervention, conservationists fear, many species will not survive the 21 Century.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species describes habitat loss as the main threat, although hunting is becoming an increasing problem in some areas. More than 10% of all primate species are listed as Critically Endangered, like this cotton-top tamarind.


The grey-shanked douc langur, found in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, was described for the first time in the 1990s. It is listed as Critically Endangered as a result of habitat loss and hunting.
Sharing the same African high altitude forests as mountain gorillas, the Endangered golden monkey also faces the same threats, including snares, human encroachment, and people entering the area to collect wood.


The Berthe's mouse lemur is only found in Madagascar, which is home to thousands of unique species. Although the government has an extensive conservation programme, years of development have squeezed a number of species to the point of extinction.


Despite the gloomy outlook, the golden lion tamarind – found in small pockets of Brazil's Atlantic Forest – offers primates a glimmer of hope. Conservation programmes spread over three decades have seen the species downlisted from Critically Endangered to Endangered.

For more about Madagascar in particular, your readers might be interested in The Bronx Zoo's exhibit that has just opened. It is titled Madagascar and can give just a small taste of the abundance of wildlife that exists there. For those who are unable to go or just want a good listen, the New York Academy of Sciences just released a Podcast speaking with the director of the Madagascar program that is also very informative. You can listen to that here.
