Neat. Man I wish I could take one (bleep) trip and go to those islands and see and photograph some of those. Some of those numbers are so depressing.

Those numbers are depressing. However, it does not really say what is causing them to fade away nor does it say what is being done to reverse the trend.
Perhaps that was not the nature of that website. Anyway, good info!

It would be great to go to where they are native and see them. Me, for a while at least, I'll have to just see them on Animal Planet and Dicovery channel.

Probably whats causing it is humans. Deforestation, collecting/hunting, and development.
Whats being done, probably nothing. A few research groups or studies, maybe. Hopefully I'm wrong, but with a number like 150 left, there is not much you could do and have a healthy gene pool. But there is always hope.
