The list of challenges facing nonhuman primates in the 21st century
is a long one. The expansion of palm oil plantations to feed a
growing consumer class is eating away at ape and monkey habitats in
Southeast Asia and Central Africa. Lemurs are hunted for food in
the poorest parts of Madagascar while monkeys are used as medicine
in Brazil. Traditional cultural beliefs are maintaining demand for
animal body parts in West African markets while viral YouTube
videos of "cute" and "cuddly" lorises have increased their market
value as pets and endangered their populations. These and other
issues are addressed in this book by leading researchers in the
field of ethnoprimatology, the study of human/nonhuman primate
interactions that combines traditional primatological methodologies
with cultural anthropology in an effort to better understand the
nuances of our economic, ritualistic, and ecologic relationships.
