Tarsiers are a cute, adorable and curious set of primates once widespread in South East Asia, but now limited within certain islands. What makes them unique is their huge eyes each equal to the length of their brains. Coming to your question, the main reasons why they are declining is the destruction of rain forests and hunting. At least, that is what is thought!
