Extinction – China’s Relentless Building and Crush of Biodiversity

I just read this headline as I was searching for names of higher educational programs under the guise of environmental science, ecology and extinction.  

The primate extinction crisis in China: immediate challenges and a way forward

“China is facing an unprecedented set of challenges in balancing the effects of economic development and global climate change with environmental protection and maintaining biodiversity. Although positive steps have been undertaken to remedy this situation, currently 80% of China’s 25 extant primate species are threatened, 15–18 species have population sizes of less than 3000 individuals, and two species of gibbons and one species of langur have been extirpated over the past few decades. Today, virtually all species of primates in China inhabit fragmented landscapes….”

White-handed Gibbons Now Presumed ‘Extinct’ In China, Forest Survey Shows

“China’s fauna exhibits a unique diversity of apes. Unfortunately, the apes are more strongly endangered by extinction in China than in any other country. A research team assembled by anthropologists of Zurich University now conclude that another ape species has just become extinct in China’s Yunnan province.”

White-Handed Gibbon (Lar Gibbon)

The white-handed, or lar gibbon, or indeed the white-cheeked gibbon, is a primate found in the forests of South and Southeast Asian countries like Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos and possibly China. It is one of the best-known gibbon species in the world.

They say ‘possibly’ China, because it has already had its habitat mowed over.
