Our closest biological relatives - but while the human population continues to grow, most of our fellow primates are now sliding towards extinction. This international team of scientists trawled through the data on more than 500 primate species revealing a looming extinction crisis. They estimate that 60% of primate species are now threatened with extinction and 75% have populations that are in decline. Forest habitat that these animals rely on is being destroyed -primarily for agriculture and logging. Reversing these declines means looking closely at where we source products like timber, palm oil and meat.   

灵长类动物是和人类最相近的物种，但随着全球人口总数持续增长，在我们其余的灵长类动物同伴中，大多数物种的数量正逐渐下滑并且一步步走向灭绝。该国际科学家小组全面搜罗了有关500多个灵长类物种的数据，他们的研究揭示了一个迫在眉睫的物种灭绝危机。据这些科学家估计，有60%灵长类物种正遭受灭绝的威胁，75%的灵长类物种数量呈下降趋势。这些动物赖以生存的森林栖息地正受到人类破坏，其原因主要是农业活动和伐木行为。人们如果想改变目前这一下降的趋势，就应当更仔细地审视木材、棕榈油和肉类等产品的来源。
