List of Primates in Danger

There was a report made a while ago (in 2007) about a listing of primates that was compiled by research done by 60 scientists in 21 countries.

But I guess since we are getting closer to the end of the report the San Francisco Chronicle has reported on it: Here

The report lists 25 of the most endangered primates due to hunters (that kill them for food), farmers and loggers that destroy their habitat, as well as human wars that put them in danger.

114 of the worlds 394 (29%) are threatened with extinction. Remember that you humans are a primate too - so do everything you can to protect your relatives!

I don't have exact instructions for you now - but if here at pieceofmojo.com we always try to bring you the latest primate news and ways you can help - so stay tuned!
