Indonesia possesses the second largest primate population in the
world, with over 33 different primate species. Although Brazil
possesses more primate species, Indonesia outranks it in terms of
its diversity of primates, ranging from prosimians (slow lorises
and tarsiers), to a multitude of Old World Monkey species
(macaques, langurs, proboscis moneys) to lesser apes (siamangs,
gibbons) and great apes (orangutans). The primates of Indonesia are
distributed throughout the archipelago. Partly in response to the
number of primates distributed throughout the Indonesian
archipelago, Indonesia is classified as the home of two
biodiversity hotspots (Wallacea and Sundaland). In order to be
classified as a hotspot, an area must have a large proportion of
endemic species coupled with a high degree of threat including
having lost more than 70% of its original habitat. Two areas within
Indonesia meet these criteria. The tremendous diversity of primates
in Indonesia, in conjunction with the conservation issues facing
the primates of this region, created a need for this volume.
