From the snub-nosed monkeys of China to the mountain gorillas of
central Africa, our closest nonhuman relatives are in critical
danger worldwide. A recent report, for example, warns that nearly
20 percent of the world's primates may go extinct within the next
ten or twenty years. In this book Guy Cowlishaw and Robin Dunbar
integrate cutting-edge theoretical advances with practical
management priorities to give scientists and policymakers the tools
they need to help keep these species from disappearing forever.
"Primate Conservation Biology" begins with detailed overviews of
the diversity, life history, ecology, and behavior of primates and
the ways these factors influence primate abundance and
distribution. Cowlishaw and Dunbar then discuss the factors that
put primates at the greatest risk of extinction, especially habitat
disturbance and hunting. The remaining chapters present a
comprehensive review of conservation strategies and management
practices, highlighting the key issues that must be addressed to
protect primates for the future.
