Portrait of two individuals of Sulawesi black-crested macaque (Macaca nigra) sitting on the ground in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia._Climate change impacts on world's primates: Case of Sulawesi black-crested macaque (Macaca nigra)_"Story of the Frisky Yaki" (Black and White version)_Since at least 1997, scientists have been examining the possible impacts of climate change to primates of the world, with results that it is changing their behaviors, activities, reproductive cycles, food availability and foraging range. Currently, approximately one-quarter of primates' ranges have temperatures over historical ones, as revealed by a team of scientists led by Miriam Plaza Pinto. Tangkoko forest, a sanctuary where crested macaque (Macaca nigra) lives, suffers from temperature increase by up to 0.2 degree Celsius per year, as reported by a team of primatologists led by Marine Joly after a long-time research, adding that the overall fruit abundance is also decreased. Another report suggests that changes related to seasons will indirectly affect the possibility of yaki, as the endemic macaque called by the locals, being infected by endoparasites. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) also says that rising temperatures have led to ecological, behavioral, and physiological changes in wildlife species and biodiversity. "In addition to increased rates of disease and degraded habitats, climate change is also causing changes in species themselves, which threaten their survival, " they wrote on IUCN.org._The habitat suitability of primate species is reduced, that could force them to move out of safe habitats and face more potential conflicts with human. Therefore, primate conservation needs "a holistic strategy of education, capacity building, and community-based conservation draws upon a blend of insights from multiple social scientific disciplines, " according to a team of scientists led by Harry Hilser on International Journal of Primatology
