CLIMATE CHANGE

Although empirical evidence for the impact of climate change on primates is
scarce, a recent global assessment suggests that numerous primates will
experience changing climatic conditions during the 21st century, with the
Amazon, the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Central America, and East and Southeast
Asia being considered hotspots of climate change–induced primate vulnerability.

Primates with limited geographic distributions and species characterized by slow
life history traits (for example, late age at first reproduction and long
inter-birth intervals) are highly vulnerable to shifting ecological conditions
and are likely to be most affected.

Although some species may cope with these changes either by migrating to more
suitable conditions or by adapting and dispersing or range shift is not always
possible and may have highly negative consequences.

Climate change may also force individuals out of protected areas, making them
more vulnerable to hunting and other anthropogenic impacts, and range shifts
among interacting species can affect food supplies and introduce new predators,
pathogens, and/or competitors.

Additionally, more frequent and severe climate change can induce floods,
droughts, fires, hurricanes, and El Niño–Southern Oscillation events that can
affect the food supply available to primate populations, with negative impacts
on health, fertility, and mortality.

TRAFFICKING OF ASIAN PRIMATES

The trading of Asian primates has been a problem for a very long time now but
has had a major increase within the last 15 years. Both living and dead primates
are being sold. They are being sold to keep as pets, for biomedical and
pharmaceutical reasons, and for meat. When the primates are being captured
usually the thieves go for the young and end up killing other members of the
group just to take the babies. This is one of the leading causes on why some
Asian Primates are currently endangered.

There are many efforts to try and save the primates from illegal trafficking.
One of these in particular is called Help Rescue Primates from Illegal
Trafficking which is a micro project by the Wildlife Alliance. This is a retired
project but their website was one of the most moving websites and it shows
people what is happening to these primates. Their website consists of pictures
of some of the primates they have rescued and the stories that go along with it.
They also have information on how much money was raised to support these
efforts.

I unfortunately could not find why people felt the necessity to keep these
primates as pets but if i had to take a guess, it is probably because they are
cute! People are trading these primates to use their meat because there is a
need for more food so the people of the area are doing what they can to eat and
survive, which means killing the primates for food. They are being used for
biomedical and pharmaceutical reasons because of the tradition of Asian
medicine. Even the smallest part of a primate is worth a lot of money. These
traditions are deemed necessary and so are the animals they need to make the
medicine. There would need to be a change in the Asian traditional culture to
solve this problem, not an easy fix.

CHAMBA SACRED LANGUR

Geographic: Northwest India

Population: In 2003 there has been an estimated of 500 individuals, half of that
being matured.

Habitat: Arboreal and lives in alpine forests at elevations between 2,200 meters
and 4,000 meters. ( 7,200-13,000 feet)

Threats: Overgrazing. Building roads through forests, logging, deforestation,
agriculture, and fire.

Conservation Actions: Listed on the Indian Wildfire Protection Act, that expired
in 2002.

Behavior: Birthing season runs from January through June, although almost half
of all of the infants are born in March. The infants are weaned when they are
older which is unlike most Asian primates. Most of Asian primates wean their
young at about a year, and this primate weans them at about 25 months. This is
due to nutritional constraints. These primates typically are in groups of 5.

HAINAN BLACK CRESTED GIBBON

Hainan Black Crested Gibbon

Scientific name: Hylobatidae

Diet: Omnivores (Fruit,

Average life span: 25 Years

Size:17-25 in

Weight: 9-29 lbs

Hainan Gibbon’s are extremely rare with only around 20 living currently. They
can be found on one island in a six square mile radius.

The species was overtaken by not only deforestation but also by poaching. Many
of these Gibbons were being killed because they were used in the evolution of
Chinese medicine.

Behavior: Can mostly be found in the trees. When we think of primates that swing
from tree to tree, we think of Gibbons.

Reproduction: Mating for Gibbons is the most active during the raining season.
Females reproduction rate is about once every two years.

PIG-TAILED SNUB-NOSED LANGUR

Simias Concolor

Most commonly referred to as a Pig-tailed Langur or a Pig-tailed Snub-nosed
monkey

Critically Endangered

Due to heavy hunting pressure in the past ten years and habitat loss, there was
a population decline of 73-90%.

Range of the animal:

Lives primarily in Indonesia, confined specifically to the Mentawai Islands off
the western coast of Sumatra.

The species are found in swamp forest and lowland rainforest as well as forest
on the inside of the hills.

Conservation efforts

This species is protected by Indonesian law. There is only one officially
protected park, Siberut National Park. This species is never seen in captivity.

Citations: Simias concolor . (n.d.). Retrieved April 13, 2017, from
http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/20229/0

Feeding habits

This species eat mostly leaves, fruits, and berries.

Birth season

Mothers normally give birth to their kids in June or July.

Behavior:

The species are normally arboreal but when they are disturbed they descend to
the ground.

Dorothy’s research:

The only known predator of the Pig-tailed Langur is human, however other large
predators on Mentawai Islands include crested serpent eagles and pythons (both
of which may pray on this langur). Because their meat is considered a delicacy
on Pagai Islands and they could contribute to the development of ecotourism
there, the population consists of fewer than 10,000 individuals. This means that
due to extreme logging practices, population size has decreased by about 50% in
the last decade and is expected to decrease by another 50% by the next decade.

In addition to heavy hunting and commercial logging, this species is threatened
by the conversion to oil palm plantations, the improved access to remote areas
due to logging roads, and product extraction by the local people. The pressures
of hunting in this area have increased since the replacement of bows and arrows
with 177 caliber air rifles. Also, local rituals and taboos that formerly
regulated hunting have been replaced by Christianity. This game species is
preferred by most Mentawai hunters and it is estimated that twice as many are
killed by hunters each year as are born in the Pagai Islands.

The development of alternative economic models for the local people to reduce
the likelihood of selling off their land to logging companies is one factor that
is aiding in the conservation efforts of the Pig-tailed Langur.
