(CNN) -- Nearly half the world's primate species are in danger of extinction, according to a report released Wednesday by a major conservation group.
The main threat facing primates -- including apes, monkeys, and lemurs -- is tropical forest destruction, with the illegal wildlife trade and commercial bush meat hunting also playing roles.
This is hilarious. Somebody with a FAX machine and a logo put out a 'report'? CNN picks it up? That's hard hitting reporting!
The next (one sentence) paragraph is even better...
Scientists say primates are humankind's closest animal relatives.
That is supposed to scare you in to doing something. Me? I'm laughing (out loud).
So the global warming thing did not work out, lets go back to "save the rain forests"...and "save the whales". I did a piece on that already.
This is too much. How can anyone take the (unnamed) "major conservation group" seriously? How can anyone take CNN seriously?
