Primates!!

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera semua!
Apa khabar warga BIOSIS dan pembaca sekalian?
Minggu ini sangat padat dengan aktiviti dan tugasan.
BIOSIS baru sahaja melaksanakan Majlis Makan Malam Tahunan Jabatan Sains Biologi!
Dengar kata, ada lagi acara daripada BIOSIS. Apa dia?
Nantikan!!!

Kali ini kami akan berkongsi dengan anda mengenai Primates! Tahukah apa itu Primates?

The primates include the most familiar of the placental mammals, because they include us, Homo sapiens. Primates also include familiar animals, such as the chimpanzees, gorillas, and monkeys, as well as the somewhat less familiar lemurs, lorises, galagos, pottos, sifakas, indris, aye-ayes, and tarsiers.

Nearly half of all primates are in danger of becoming extinct, according to a study by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Habitat destruction and hunting for food and the illegal wildlife trade are the main threats to the world's 634 primate species – 303 of which are now classed as vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered. Here are some of the species under threat.



The grey-shanked douc langur (Pygathrix cinerea) is found in Vietnam. In Asia, more than 70% of primates are classified on the IUCN 'red list' as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered; in both Vietnam and Cambodia, approximately 90% of primate species are considered at risk of extinction



The yellow-cheeked crested gibbon (Nomascus gabriellae) was upgraded from vulnerable to endangered. In south-east Asia, populations of gibbons, leaf monkeys and langurs have dropped due to rapid habitat loss and hunting to satisfy the Chinese medicine and pet trade.

Comelkan Primates ini?

Untuk pengetahuan anda, binatang ini semakin berkurang populasi dalam dunia. Justeru, kita sebagai manusia mestilah melindungi haiwan ini daripada ketamakan manusia sendiri.
Mereka juga berhak untuk merasai kehidupan dengan baik.



The Qinling golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana qinlingensis), found in China, has been reclassified from vulnerable to endangered. Habitat destruction, through the burning and clearing of tropical forests, is a major threat to primates. Other threats include the hunting of primates for food and an illegal wildlife trade.
