Several primate species teeter toward extinction
Primatologists have identified the 25 most endangered primates globally, of which three are endemic to Vietnam, according to a press release from the Fauna & Flora International- Vietnam Programme.
The Cat Ba langur (Trachypithecus poliocephalus), Delacour’s langur (Trachypithecus delacouri) and Tonkin snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus avunculus) are the three Vietnamese species to figure in the emergency action list: the 2014-2016 World’s Top 25 Most Endangered Primates list.
