Hunting for primate "bushmeat" in Africa is on the rise, and unless
work is done to reduce the demand for primate meat, many species could
disappear within a few short years. The latest animal to be added to
the threatened list is the "kipunji," a type of mangabey recently found
in the forests of Tanzania. It is the first new monkey species to be
discovered in 20 years and it immediately went on the threatened list.
Researchers estimate there are no more than 1,000 of the animals across
its entire range, which encompasses just 120 square kilometres.
