Extinction is a natural process, so is there a problem with current primate endangerment? What are the main causes of primate endangerment, in your opinion? (Feel free to focus on a particular region or particular species.) What do you think are viable solutions for primate conservation to combat overexploitation? What do you think are viable solutions for primate conservation to combat habitat destruction?

List two characteristics often found in species that are extinct or in danger of extinction because of humans. Describe one example of such a species. What human actions caused problems for this species? List one characteristic of this species that made it vulnerable to human-caused endangerment and extinction.

Make a list of characteristics that would render a species particularly vulnerable to extinction by humans. Make a list of characteristics that would render a species particularly resistant to pressure from humans. Try to think of an example of each type of species.
