About 60% of monkeys, apes, and lemurs are currently threatened with extinction, and climate change is only a part of it.
Habitat loss, hunting, the illegal pet trade, and disease have already cut back primate populations. Climate change will likely increase the duration and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones and droughts, putting more pressure on the survival of already struggling species.

  About 60 per cent of monkeys, apes, lemurs, lorises and tarsiers are threatened with extinction. Climate change will only make it more difficult for them to survive.
