What does 5 mean exactly?
DeleteWhat would you do for 6?
Bonobos
ReplyDeleteI like this primate because they share a common emotion level as us.
Along the Congo River in South America
Anywhere from 29,000-50,000
The bonobos face the fear of poachers and habitat loss since they live in the canopy.
There should be more laws on poaching and a tree should be planted for every tree cut down.
BCI is a non-profit organization that raises awareness about bonobos around the world.
South America or Africa?

ReplyDeleteMy favorite primate is the bonobo or pan paniscus. I like the bonobo because they are really caring primates. Bonobos live in a 200,000 km area in central Africa in the democratic republican of Congo. The population is from 50,000 to 100,000. Some problems the bonobos are facing are 1. the increased poverty in the area has contributed to bonobo poaching and deforestation 2. the bonobo population is declining due to the low reproductive rate and growing threats. I think that something people can do to help the bonobos are stop tearing down the forests and make pouching illegal if not already. An organization that helps this animal and all other animals is the Bonobo Conservation Initiative and also PETA.

ReplyDelete1)Hoolock Gibbon
2)They look nice
3)India,Bangladesh,Burma,China
4)<35,000
5)-If there is not enough food in an area the number of Gibbons is lower compared to other areas
-They are now entirely dependent on human action for their survival.
Threats to them include:
-Habitat encroachment by humans
-Forest clearances
-Hunted for food
-Capture for trade
-Etc.
6)Keep having them in captivity to produce more offspring and increase lifespan. Also make laws in the areas of there living habitats so people are not allowed to capture them.

1. owl monkey
ReplyDelete2. has cute eyes
3. across southern central america and northern south america
4. since they're nocturnal its hard to know
5. their habitat, if they live in a tropical forest its easy for them to find food like fruit but in dry forests its not, potential threats are owls, snakes, and felids
6. as of now, nothing. theyre pretty safe and since theyre nocturnal theres not a huge competition for food
7. WWF
1) lemur
ReplyDelete2) cool colored eyes
3) Madagascar
4) classified in 8 different families
5) one problem is that poor soils and low plant productivity can cause them to die off easily. The second problem is that there is a lot of political crime in MAdagascar causing them to tear down the habitat lemurs are living in.
6) crime to be stopped

ReplyDeleteI like them because they are very small and have large eyes.
They live mostly in Sub-saharan Africa and across a few various African nations.

Two problems are evil chimps killing them and poachers.
I think Chimps should find other food.
Why should chimps find other food? Are there orgs to help?
