English Callithrix Jacchus Tufted ear marmoset or common marmoset English name Witoor oestitie Dutch name Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Callitrichidae Genus Callithrix Species: Callithrix jacchus Geographic Range Neotropical: Common marmosets are New World primates. Their original range was limited to north eastern Brazil, but habitat destruction in that area is widespread. Wild populations of the common marmoset are now located in south eastern Brazilian coastal rainforest. Distinguishing Characteristics The common marmoset has a body length of about 12 - 15 cm; with a tail length of 29.5 - 35 cm. Distinguishing characteristics of common marmosets include white ear tufts, and a white blaze on the forehead. Their head fur is usually dark brown, while their back fur is a grayish brown color with light transverse striping. They also have very pronounced transverse tail stripes. Mass: 230 to 260 g. Life span is estimated at 11 years. Natural History Food Habits While the common marmoset generally feeds on tree gum (15 % of total diet), this species has also been found to eat insects, spiders, fruit, flowers, and nectar. Less frequently, they have been observed feeding on small lizards, bird's eggs, nestlings, and frogs.

Watch Earth Matters on CNN and CNN International. Primates in peril, except for one species August 28, 1997 Web posted at: 7:21 p.m. EDT (2321 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) Hunting and the steady loss of forests have made primates the most imperiled group of mammals on the planet. Only one species of primates is increasing in numbers: humans. Nearly half of the 235 primates, including chimpanzees the human's closest evolutionary relative are threatened with extinction. Another 20 percent are approaching that status, said a report published Thursday by Worldwatch Institute. "In general, the reasons for the declines are no mystery: they all relate, directly or indirectly, to human actions," said the report entitled "Death in the Family Tree." It spotlighted a number of "hotspots" around the world where forest loss has resulted in high concentrations of endangered primates. These include southeast Asia, equatorial Africa, Madagascar, and southeastern Brazil. "The fate of these forests will largely determine the fate of most primates, and more and more of these forests are losing their ecological integrity as they are logged, colonized and cleared for agriculture," the article said. In south and east Asia, nine-tenths of all primates are facing extinction. In Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans the ape most dependent on trees have lost 80 percent of their forests in the past two decades.

Vietnam previously was almost entirely forested. This provides suitable conditions for a diversity and abundance of primate fauna. However, after a long period of war and uncontrolled forest exploitation, the forest cover has reduced to 40% of its original. Vietnam has a population of 69,3 millions and annual growth rate of 2,4%. The minority people who live mainly in mountainous zones close to forests exploit forest for basic needs in the form of fuel wood an lumber. Forest is continually subjected to logging, hunting, clearance for agriculture and settlement. These activities continue degrading forest, and in particular primate resources, which all depend on forest habitat.

Endangered primates of Vietnam: a stamp photo essay The Phayre's langur has a large distribution area from northern Vietnam through Laos to Myanmar. But the density of the highly fragmented population is very low and this langur is one of the rarest primate species in Vietnam. The red-shanked douc langur occurs only in Vietnam and Laos. The species is highly threatened by hunting, sepecially to prepare traditional Chinese medicine. The black gibbon occurs in northern Vietnam, northern laos and southern China. The population is highly fragmented and threatened The hatinh langur occurs only in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Part and in a small adjacent area in Laos. The population in Vietnam is estimated at about 600 to 700 individuals. The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is found only in some isolated areas in northern Vietnam. The total of about 300 animals is threatened by hunting and habitat destruction. The grey-shanked douc Langur was discovered as a new primate species in 1997 and occurs in Central Vietnam. No numbers are known but the langur is recognised as one of the world's 25 most endangered primate species.
