Des juvéniles macaques à crête (Macaca nigra) sont photographiés alors qu'ils entretiennent une interaction sociale alors qu'ils se nourrissent d'un arbre dans la forêt de Tangkoko, dans le Sulawesi du Nord, en Indonésie. Le changement climatique est l’un des principaux facteurs affectant la biodiversité dans le monde à un rythme alarmant, selon une équipe de scientifiques dirigée par Antonio Acini Vasquez-Aguilar dans leur document de recherche de mars 2024 publié sur environ Monit Assess. Cela pourrait modifier la répartition géographique des espèces, y compris les espèces qui dépendent grandement du couvert forestier comme les primates, disent-ils, comme une autre équipe de scientifiques dirigée par Miriam Plaza Pinto...

Crested macaque (Macaca nigra) juveniles are photographed as they are having social interaction while foraging on a tree in Tangkoko forest, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Climate change is one of the main factors affecting biodiversity worldwide at an alarming rate according to a team of scientists led by Antonio Acini Vasquez-Aguilar in their March 2024 research paper published on Environ Monit Assess. It might shift the geographic distribution of species, including species which depend greatly on forest cover such as primates, they say, as another team of scientists led by Miriam Plaza Pinto warns that "approximately one-quarter of primates' ranges have temperatures over historical ones." Tangkoko forest, a sanctuary where crested macaque lives, is suffering from temperature increase by up to 0.2 degree Celsius per year, according to a team of primatologists led by Marine Joly, adding that the overall fruit abundance is also decreased. In other words, climate change may reduce the habitat suitability of primate species, that could force them to move out of safe habitats and face more potential conflicts with human. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) concludes that rising temperatures have led to ecological, behavioral, and physiological changes in wildlife species and biodiversity. "In addition to increased rates of disease and degraded habitats, climate change is also causing changes in species themselves, which threaten their survival, " they wrote on IUCN.org. Therefore, primate conservation needs "a holistic strategy of education, capacity building, and community-based conservation draws upon a blend of insights from multiple social scientific disciplines alongside direct research with communities in the area exploring their cultural histories, behavioural drivers, and relationships with nature, " according to a team of scientists led by Harry Hilser in their 2023 paper published by International Journal of Primatology.
