11 primate species in Vietnam are critically endangered: study
A new study by global primate experts found Vietnam in a dire situation with an increase in critically endangered species, several of which are endemic to the country.
Experts assessed the threat of extinction for 182 kinds of primates in South China, South and Southeast Asia, including 25 species that can only be found in Vietnam, and listed eleven species in Vietnam as Critically Endangered, up from seven in the 2008 list, according to the research released last month by Fauna and Flora Organization.
