Nonetheless, a major threat to primate conservation has been habitat loss and the killing of monkeys, especially in the densely populated southwestern area of the island where recent surveys showed that most macaques have been wiped out. Two subspecies, S. v...

Here, we provide an initial and non-exhaustive overview of food items of Grauer’s gorillas in the Nkuba Conservation Area (NCA), a lower-elevation (500–1,500 m) forest located between Kahuzi-Biega National Park and Maiko National...

.... The consequences of disrupted dispersal and range use have led wildlife conservation research to focus on not only protecting isolated habitat, but also facilitating gene flow between protected areas through wildlife corridors [Correa Ayram et al., 2016; Riggio and Caro, 2017]. This perspective treats protected...

... With 60% of all primate species now threatened with extinction and many species only persisting in small populations in forest fragments, conservation action is urgently needed. But what type of action? Here we argue that restoration of primate habitat will be an essential component of strategies aimed...

L. catta conservation will depend on these data, as the information can aid in determining motivations for capture, ownership, and sale. Subsequently, targeted conservation action can be deployed which addresses root causes of the trade...

We conclude that specific actions should be implemented to develop more inclusive conservation management practices, especially improving awareness regarding the illegal wildlife trade and increased protection of wild populations and their habitats. 8...

...Sharon Gursky; Cristina Salibay; Nanda Grow; Lori Fields Over the last 2 decades the Philippine tarsier ( Carlito syrichta aka Tarsius syrichta ) has had its conservation status revised from Endangered to Data Deficient to Near Threatened. The last status change was based on a study of the species...
