The number of primates on the brink of extinction continues to
grow, and the need to respond with effective conservation measures
has never been greater. This book provides a comprehensive and
state-of-the-art synthesis of research principles and applied
management practices for primate conservation. It begins with a
consideration of the biological, intellectual, economic, and
ecological importance of primates and a summary of the threats that
they face, before going on to consider these threats in more detail
with chapters on habitat change, trade, hunting, infectious
diseases, and climate change. Potential solutions in the form of
management practice are examined in detail, including chapters on
conservation genetics, protected areas, and translocation. An
Introduction to Primate Conservation brings together an
international team of specialists with wide-ranging expertise
across primate taxa. This is an essential textbook for advanced
undergraduates, graduate students, and established researchers in
the fields of primate ecology and conservation biology. It will
also be a valuable reference for conservation practitioners, land
managers, and professional primatologists worldwide.
