Over 50% of world's wild primates face extinction: Research
A recent research has revealed that 60% of the world's primates including gorillas, apes and monkeys face extinction because of hunting, agriculture and industrial activities. The species that come in contact with humans also face unusual threats like infections from diarrhoea-causing bugs. While 73% primate species in Asia face extinction, around 87% do so in Madagascar, the report added.
