One In Every Three Primates Now Threatened With Extinction Every Three primates Now threatened with Extinction. New Report on 25 Most endangered primates Documents Increased World's Top 25 Most endangered primates2002 released today by http://www.conservation.org/xp/news/press_releases/2002/100702.xml
Extractions: Washington, DC - New evidence of the peril facing the world's apes, monkeys, lemurs and other primates, with one in every three now endangered with extinction, is revealed in a new report - The World's Top 25 Most Endangered Primates-2002 released today by Conservation International (CI) and the Primate Specialist Group of IUCN-The World Conservation Union. Primate species and sub-species classified as "critically endangered" and "endangered" jumped nearly 63 percent from 120 to 195 since the initial report was issued in January 2000. The report was finalized during a recent gathering of the International Primatological Society, at its 19th Congress in Beijing, China. Asia now accounts for almost 45 percent of the world's most endangered primates, with 11 listed in the top 25, including six that are new additions. Africa (8), the Neotropics (3) and Madagascar (3) are home to the other primates represented on the list. These include the Sumatran orangutan of Indonesia, the mountain gorilla of Africa, and northern muriqui of Brazil. "The latest information made available at the International Primatological Society Congress in Beijing highlighted the fact that Asia has now become the world leader in endangered primates," said Conservation International President Russ Mittermeier. "Of particular concern is the situation in Vietnam and China. Indeed, with several primates now numbering only in the dozens or low hundreds of individuals, Vietnam is at risk of undergoing a major primate extinction spasm within the next few years if rapid action is not taken. Fully 20 percent of the top 25 primates are located in Vietnam, with another 16 percent from China and 12 percent from Indonesia."

Extractions: Welcome to the website of the Endangered Primate Foundation, Inc. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of nonhuman primates. Our mission is to protect threatened species through captive breeding, conservation, scientific research, and education. More than half of all extant primate species are, to some degree, at risk of becoming extinct. Human activities such as deforestation, hunting, and the pet trade pose serious threats to wild populations. As with all endangered species, in order to save wild primates from extinction more protected areas must be established in their native habitats. This is ultimately the only conservation strategy that will insure their survival in the wild. By teaching people about the importance of biodiversity, that each species plays a role in the state of the planet as a whole, we can hope to reverse some of the damage already done and preserve wild species and habitats for the future. The key to conservation is education. The people of the Endangered Primate Foundation believe that one of the most important issues in animal husbandry is providing naturalistic captive environments. There is no question that animals living in a free-range setting achieve a higher quality of life than those living in cages or small enclosures. Free-ranging animals also serve as better research subjects, since their activities and behavior more closely approximate those of their wild counterparts. This type of captive research is valuable for application to conservation efforts in wild habitats.

Fully 20 percent of the top 25 primates are located in Vietnam, with another 16 percent from China and 12 percent from Indonesia." Habitat loss due to the clearing of tropical forests for agriculture, timber extraction and the collection of fuel wood continues to be the major factor in the declining number of primates according to the report. However, hunting has been an insidious and major threat, especially in Africa and Asia. Once done mainly for subsistence purposes, it has now taken on a major commercial dimension. Live capture for the pet trade and export for biomedical research have become lesser concerns in recent decades, but still pose a threat to some species. Although still highly endangered, a number of species have been removed from the list issued in 2000. The golden lion tamarin and the black lion tamarin, for example, have benefited from commendable efforts for their protection by the Brazilian Government. Comprehensive conservation and management programs are in place for each - that for the black lion tamarin run by the NGO IPÊ-Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas in collaboration with the Wildlife Preservation Trust, Philadelphia, and that for the golden lion tamarin by the Associação Mico-Leão-Dourado (AMLD) in collaboration with the National Zoological Park, Smithsonian Institution.

Extractions: Endangered Animal Printouts Endangered animals are those species that are in danger of going extinct. Their reproductive rates are lower than their mortality rates over long periods of time, so their numbers are diminishing. The reasons for this are varied, but lately, very often involves a loss of habitat as people encroach on their living areas. When a species is listed as endangered or threatened, it is not a death sentence. Many animals, like the bald eagle and the American alligator, were on the brink of extinction and are now recovering. Many species, however, will not recover, and could be lost forever. Throughout time, animal species have been going extinct (long before people evolved); paleontologists estimate that well over 90 percent of all plant and animal species that ever existed have gone extinct.

Extractions: CITES Since the last assessment in 1996, Critically Endangered primates increased from 13 to 19, and the number of threatened albatross species has increased from 3 to 16 due to birds drowning after accidentally being caught on hooks set by long-line fisheries. Freshwater turtles, heavily exploited for food and medicinal use in Asia, went from 10 to 24 Critically Endangered species in just four years.

Extractions: Madagascar has more Critically Endangered and Endangered primates than anywhere in the world. Identified as a biodiversity "hotspot," Madagascar has extremely high levels of endemism (species that occur in only one location) but has already lost more than 90 percent of its original natural vegetation. As in 1996, Indonesia harbours the highest number of threatened mammals (135 species). India (80 species) and Brazil (75 species) have moved ahead of China (72 species). Thailand (32 species) and the United States (29 species) are displaced from the "top 20" by Cameroon (38 species) and the Russian Federation (35 species). Tanzania (38 species) has also moved up from 20th to 14th position.
