Driving primates to the edge

The following paragraph is my response to an article titled "Driving primates to the edge" appeared in BBC Science in 2008.

I am pessimatic about the future of primates. Habitat destruction in most Asian countries poses increasing threat to primates. Unstainable logging for timbers and clearing forests for urban development are driving primates to the verge of extinction. The policy of maximizing economic growth even at the expense of huge environmental cost is not uncommon in most developing countries. They admire the success of China's econmic reform and adopt 'Devlopment first, treatment later'model. The culture of eating wild animals still prevails in some Asian countries. Education is the only way of averting this uncivilized practice but it may take generations to work. The question is can these lovely creatures struggle for that long before the become extinct?"

The design of the wbsite allows you to express your views on issues related to science, quite an interesting and interactive way of learning science. I strongly recommend the website to science students.
