Climate change will make the current ranges of most Amazon primates uninhabitable in the coming decades, forcing them to move.
But primates face barriers to dispersal, such as rivers and deforestation, which can limit their ability to migrate.
If species aren’t able to find new habitats, the populations, as well as the habitat they support, will suffer.
New research shows that without healthy forest corridors that allow animals to find new habitat, primates native to the Amazon basin will suffer as the impacts of climate change worsen.
Brazilian ecologists focused on 80 species of primates found only in the Amazon. They
