Sulawesi black-crested macaques (Macaca nigra) in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Impacts of climate change, which are significant factors to forests' microclimates, are influencing the survival abilities of wildlife species. A report by a team of scientists led by Marine Joly revealed that the temperature is increasing in Tangkoko forest, and the overall fruit abundance decreased. "Between 2012 and 2020, temperatures increased by up to 0.2 degree Celsius per year in the forest, and the overall fruit abundance decreased by 1 percent per year, ” they wrote on International Journal of Primatology. "Like humans, primates overheat and become dehydrated with continued physical activity in extremely hot weather, " added Brogan M. Stewart, a scientist, in his report on The Conversation. "In a warmer future, they would have to adjust, resting and staying in the shade during the hottest times of the day. This could mean foraging less or not mating, which could limit overall food intake and change reproductive cycles, " he wrote._Primates are among large-bodied, fruit-eating wildlife species—along with hornbills and others—that are indispensable in forest regeneration. They disperse large seeds from tree species with high carbon stock capacity, according to a report produced this year by a team of Wildlife Conservation Society. In other words, they are important in slowing the planet warming. "Losing these species will change the composition of forests: wind-dispersed or small-seeded tree species with lower wood density, and therefore lower amounts of carbon, become more prevalent, " they wrote.
