This book takes a new approach to understanding primate
conservation research, adding a personal perspective to allow
readers to learn what motivates those doing conservation work. When
entering the field over a decade ago, many young primatologists
were driven by evolutionary questions centered in behavioural
ecology. However, given the current environment of cascading
extinctions and increasing threats to primates we now need to
ensure that primates remain in viable populations in the wild
before we can simply engage in research in the context of pure
behavioural ecology. This has changed the primary research aims of
many primatologists and shifted our focus to conservation
priorities, such as understanding the impacts of human activity,
habitat conversion or climate change on primates. This book
presents personal narratives alongside empirical research results
and discussions of strategies used to stem the tide of extinction.
It is a must-have for anyone interested in conservation research.
