Primates facing 'extinction crisis'

Research has shown that primates are reaching a "crisis of extinction" since 60% of primate species are in danger of extinction and 75% is decreasing the population of primates.

The main causes are the massive loss of habitat because industrial areas or areas inhabited by people and illegal hunting for eaten or marketed with them as pets.

They also affect oil and gas drilling, mining and destruction for livestock habitats.

There are also poor populations who are forced to hunt primates for food.

To end this possible extinction, we propose improvements such as raising people's awareness of the danger to primates, reducing the demand for unnecessary resources such as tropical timber from trees inhabit for primates.

Although this extinction is very advanced, scientists say that with the efforts of all governments can stop this extinction and stabilize populations of primates with protected areas so that they can recover and trying to minimize the illegal hunting of primates.

In my opinion, the extinction of the primates would be a great loss because thanks to them the forests remain clean and healthy.

With the effort of all people, creating safe areas for animals in danger of extinction and raising awareness of the importance of all animal species could stop the extinction of primates and the extinction of many other species.
