The basic goal of the volume is to compile the most up to date
research on the effect of ecotourism on Indonesia's primates. The
tremendous diversity of primates in Indonesia, in conjunction with
the conservation issues facing the primates of this region, have
created a crisis whereby many of Indonesia's primates are
threatened with extinction. Conservationists have developed the
concept of "sustainable ecotourism" to fund conservation
activities. National parks agencies worldwide receive as much as
84% of their funding from ecotourism. While ecotourism funds the
majority of conservation activities, there have been very few
studies that explore the effects of ecotourism on the habitat and
species that they are designed to protect. It is the burgeoning use
of "ecotourism" throughout Indonesia that has created a need for
this volume where the successes and pitfalls at various sites can
be identified and compared.
