Abstract
Unsustainable hunting does more than threaten wildlife populations and human livelihood - Carlos Peres and colleagues recently showed that it can also reduce how much carbon the forest stores. Maintaining primates and other important seed dispersing animals in tropical forests could be an important piece of the climate change mitigation puzzle.
