Portrait d'un macaque à crête noire Sulawesi (Macaca nigra), assis sur un liana dans la réserve naturelle de Tangkoko, au nord de Sulawesi, en Indonésie. Depuis au moins 1997, les scientifiques examinent les impacts possibles du changement climatique sur les primates du monde, avec des résultats qu'il modifie de façon ostensio-active leurs comportements, activités, cycles de reproduction et disponibilité alimentaire. De nouvelles recherches suggèrent que la protection de la faune à travers le monde pourrait considérablement améliorer le captage et le stockage du carbone naturel en superchargeant les puits de carbone des écosystèmes.

Portrait of a Sulawesi black crested macaque (Macaca nigra), as it is sitting on a liana in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Since at least 1997, scientists have been examining the possible impacts of climate change to primates of the world, with results that it is suspectedly changing their behaviors, activities, reproductive cycles and food availability._Protecting wildlife across the world could significantly enhance natural carbon capture and storage by supercharging ecosystem carbon sinks, according to Oswald J. Schmitz, the Oastler Professor of Population and Community Ecology at Yale School of the Environment, as published on Phys.Org on March 28, 2023._"Wildlife species, throughout their interaction with the environment, are the missing link between biodiversity and climate, " Schmitz says. "This interaction means rewilding can be among the best nature-based climate solutions available to humankind."_The study, conducted and co-authored by 15 scientists from eight countries, was first published in Nature Climate Change. It reveals that wild animals play a critical role controlling the carbon cycle in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems through a wide range of processes including foraging, nutrient deposition, disturbance, organic carbon deposition, and seed dispersal._The report points out that "endangering animal populations to the point where they become extinct could flip the ecosystems they inhabit from carbon sinks to carbon sources."_Macaques are well recognised as major primate seed dispersers in Asia, according to a 2018 research paper published on International Journal of Primatology written by Yamato Tsuji and Hsiu-Hui Su (accessed through Springer).
