    One in every three primates now threatened with extinction
    New report on 25 Most Endangered Primates documents increased
    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 emerged from 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."

    Dr Toosey (right) and Abdul Rab Al Hameri looking at the confiscated endangered animals. ©Gulf News The Environmental Research and Wildlife Development Agency (ERWDA), with the assistance of Abu Dhabi Police, yesterday raided two pet shops in the capital and confiscated seven endangered primates, including two baby chimpanzees. Acting on a tip-off, ERWDA officials confiscated two African baby chimpanzees, both about four-months-old, two African Vervet monkeys and three South American tamarins from a shop in the Pet Souq near Port Zayed. An investigating team from ERWDA also spotted two vervet monkeys in a nearby shop, but the shopkeeper hid them as the officials approached. The team and Lt. Mohammed Abdullah Al Hassani, deputy director of the city police station, left that shop owner with a warning. The pair of young chimpanzees had been stored in a small cage, and were priced at Dh17,000. The tamarins and vervet monkeys were listed at Dh7,500 and Dh2,500 each respectively. The ERWDA team, headed by Dr Amrita G. de Soyza, Head of Terrestrial Research Centre at ERWDA, included two veterinary surgeons, Dr Frederic Launay and Dr Arshad Toosey, Senior Conservation Officer Pritpal Singh Soorae, and Assistant Mammamial Ecologist Abdul Rab Al Hameri.

    The global extinction crisis is as bad or worse than believed, with dramatic declines in populations of many species, including reptiles and primates, according to the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, released today. Since the last assessment in 1996, Critically Endangered primates increased from 13 to 19, and the number of threatened albatross species has increased from three to 16 due to 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. These are among the alarming facts announced by the world's largest international conservation organisation, with the publication of the Red List, the most authoritative and comprehensive status assessment of global biodiversity. The release comes a week before the second World Conservation Congress in Amman, Jordan, where members of IUCN - The World Conservation Union will meet to define global conservation policy for the next four years, including ways of addressing the growing extinction crisis.

    All but one species of primates endangered Web posted August 29, 1997
    Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Hunting and the steady loss of forests have made primates the most imperiled group of mammals on the planet, a private group says. Only one species is increasing in numbers: humans. Almost half the 235 primates are threatened with extinction, including mankind's closest evolutionary relative the chimpanzee. Another 20 percent are approaching threatened status, Worldwatch Institute said in a report published Thursday. ``In general, the reasons for the declines are no mystery: they all relate directly or indirectly to human actions,'' said the report titled ``Death in the Family Tree.'' It spotlights a number of ``hot spots'' 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. Nine-tenths of the primates of south and east Asia face extinction. In Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans, the great ape most dependent on trees, have lost 80 percent of their trees in two decades.

    The major factor in the declining number of primates is habitat loss due to the clearing of tropical forests for agriculture, timber extraction and the collection of fuel wood. However, hunting is continuing to be a threat in Africa and Asia as it takes on an increasingly commercial dimension.

    (Promulgated by the Ministry of Forestry on March 23, 1993) SUBJECT: ENDAGERED SPECIES; FORRESTRY ISSUING-DEPT: MINISTRY OF FORRESTRY OF VIETNAM ISSUE-DATE: IMPLEMENT-DATE: LENGTH: 1184 words TEXT: Background and Justification
    It is important that a special facility be established to maintain small captive populations of endangered primates whose wild populations are no longer viable, or for those animals that are confiscated from the illegal trade, and provision should be made for long-term field studies of remaining wild populations and their threatened tropical forest habitats. With the assistance of the international zoological and conservation communities. it is also important that captive breeding programs for several of these primate taxa be developed as soon as possible as an insurance against the possible extinction of wild populations.
    Objectives
    It is recognised that:
    a. increased protection for and a better scientific understanding of wild primate populations and tropical forests in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is of the highest priority;
