International conservation organizations on October 26 published the latest list of 25 primates that are about to disappear from the earth, including four in Vietnam.
The report also shows that a third of the world's primates are on the brink of extinction. The main cause is due to deforestation, illegal animal trade and hunting business for meat. Primate species include monkeys, monkeys, lemurs and are the closest relatives to humans. Below is a picture of 15 of the above.
