But some species are extremely vulnerable to climate change and Monkey could even face an elevated risk of extinction as a result of climate change.</p>\n<p>The monkeys as a result of climate change may be exposed to extreme levels of warming to the extent that 86 percent of Neotropical primate ranges will experience maximum temperature increases of greater than 3°C, while extreme warming of more than 4°C is likely to affect 41 percent of their ranges, including many areas that presently harbour the highest number of primate species. The extreme temperature changes may likely surpass the thermal tolerance of many species.</p>\n<p>Given the timescale on which climate change and the resulting impact on primate populations will occur, efforts for integrating climate change mitigation measures need to be enhanced urgently in order to be able to develop and implement appropriate actions. How humans use the land and alter existing primate habitats will exacerbate the negative effects on primate populations brought about by global warming.</p>\n<p>As a result of climate change, it may so happen that, about one-quarter of Asian and African primates will face up to 50 percent agricultural crop expansion within their range, while undisturbed habitat is expected to disappear nearly entirely across species ranges and will be replaced by some form of human-disturbed habitat.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3jemgscp","appParentAuthor":"groynes","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
