The 2007 International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) "red list" has 39% of primate species and sub-species in the three highest threat categories: vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered. In the revised list, 48% are in these most threatened categories.<\/p>\n

The IUCN said that in some regions the thriving trade in meat from wild animals means certain primates are being "eaten to extinction".<\/p>\n

In southeast Asia, 71% of all Asian primates are now listed as threatened, the report said. In Vietnam and Cambodia, 90% are considered at risk. Populations of gibbons, leaf monkeys and langurs have dropped, it said, in part due to hunting to satisfy the Chinese medicine trade.<\/p>\n
