A crested macaque (Macaca nigra) is photographed while having social interaction in Tangkoko forest, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Climate change and disease are emerging threats to primates. A recent report revealed that the temperature is indeed increasing in Tangkoko forest, and the overall fruit abundance decreased. At the same time, crested macaque belongs to the 10% of primate species that are highly vulnerable to droughts.

At the same time, crested macaque belongs to the 10% of primate species that are highly vulnerable to droughts._Macaca nigra is considered a key species in their habitat, an important "umbrella species" for biodiversity conservation. Their presence is a good indicator of the current health of the ecosystem, according to primate scientists. They depend on large-sized canopy trees for food and sleeping, and prefer old-growth forest.

RM2MXMC7C–A Sulawesi black-crested macaque (Macaca nigra) is photographed through vegetation in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Currently, up to 68% of the world's primate species are in danger of extinction, while 93% have declining populations, according to a latest report by a team of scientists led by Alejandro Estrada (Institute of Biology, National Autonomous University of Mexico). 'The greatest threats to primates globally,' they wrote in a paper published by ScieneAdvances, are 'from unsustainable non-Indigenous hunting, deforestation, and industrial agriculture, in addition.

RM2T2J57N–A juvenile of Sulawesi black-crested macaque (Macaca nigra) stares at camera while being photographed, as it is sitting down on forest ground in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. A recent report by a team of scientists led by Marine Joly reveals that the temperature is increasing in Tangkoko forest. '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. 'There is rapidly growing evidence for the negative effects of..

RM2PJ8Y77–A Sulawesi black-crested macaque (Macaca nigra) is photographed as it is lying on forest floor in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Climate change and disease are emerging threats to primates, and approximately one-quarter of primates’ ranges have temperatures over historical ones, according to a team of scientists led by Miriam Plaza Pinto (Departamento de Ecologia, Centro de Biociências, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, RN, Brazil) in their scientific report published on Nature in January 2023.

RM2MG3CW0–A group of Sulawesi black-crested macaque (Macaca nigra) is photographed as they are having social activity in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Climate change impact on the endemic species can be seen on changing behavior and food availability, that influence their survival rate. 'Like humans, primates overheat and become dehydrated with continued physical activity in extremely hot weather,' according to a scientist, Brogan M. Stewart, in his report published in 2021 on The Conversation. 'In a warmer future, they would have to adjust, resting and staying in the shade...
