Asian primate populations

Asian primate populations, including species like orangutans, gibbons, and macaques, face significant challenges due to habitat loss, deforestation, and illegal hunting. These animals are often confined to limited forest areas, which shrink as human activities expand. Some species are critically endangered, meaning their numbers are very low and at risk of extinction. Conservation efforts focus on habitat protection, wildlife corridors, and anti-poaching measures. Preserving these primates is vital for maintaining biodiversity and the health of ecosystems they inhabit.
