some of the most (detail) 2020 Barbary macaque (macaca sylvanus), endangered. The destruction and degradation of the forest habitat is the most serious threat to the species. Severe habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation have been caused by domestic and industrial consumption of wood, use of fire, clearing for cultivation, overgrazing by sheep and goats herds and extensive logging; rivers pollution and lack of watering places are also putting this species, among many more, at risk. Barbary macaques are also one of the most trafficked species, they are captured, exploited as photo props in tourist areas or sold to be domestic animals #1milliontomiss #barbarymacaque #monkey #endangeredspecies #macaquedebarbarie #macaque #magot #especesmenacees #exploitedspecies #iucnredlist #embroidery #broderie #anthropocene https://www.instagram.com/p/CFC5oqWqk_u/?igshid=cr8t7ipukpv8

Ran across a friendly family of Barbary Macaques, on our way to our luxury desert camp, and shared our oranges and peanuts with them. They were happy. #zoommorocco #zoomvacations #barbarymacaque #atlasmountains #instagay (at Atlas Mountains, Morocco, North Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_te_rHFu3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nehrizmb68iv
