Support our passionate and delicate team in saving critically endangered primate species
25 species of Vietnam’s primates are ‘on the edge of extinction’
11 species listed as Critically Endangered due to:
1.
Illegal Hunting and Wildlife Trade
Illegal hunting and wildlife trafficking are the greatest threats to Vietnam’s endangered primates. Demand for traditional medicine, the exotic pet trade, and bushmeat consumption is high in both domestic and international markets. Although strict wildlife protection laws are in place, enforcement is often inconsistent due to limited resources, weak inter-agency coordination, local corruption, and low public awareness — allowing illegal activities to continue.
Most primate populations in Vietnam are already small and isolated — which means losing even a handful of individuals can put the entire species at risk.
2.
Habitat Loss and Fragmentation
Deforestation of natural forests in Vietnam is proceeding at an alarming rate, and even though forested areas in general increase through reforestation it is predominantly as monoculture plantations. A large number of protected areas are very small or fragmented, and are therefore highly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts.
