Ivory Coast primates being wiped out because of world demand for chocolate @ Wildlife Extra

"The Ivory Coast is the world's largest producer of cocoa beans, the main ingredient in chocolate, which represents more than one-third of the available supply.
There is a growing worldwide demand for chocolate and Ivory Coast produced a record 1.7 million metric tons of cocoa last year.

Many of the older, legal cocoa plantations in the country have been blighted by disease or are not producing at earlier levels as previously, which has led some growers moving on to create new farms.  Migrants from outside the country have moved into Ivory Coast and have turned to farming to survive."
