Extractions: P RIMATE RESEARCH IN SOUTHERN MEXICO Primate Laboratory Estación de Biología "Los Tuxtlas", Instituto de Biología Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México The purpose of our research program with wild primate populations in southern Mexico is to gather basic information about the size of wild primate populations in the geographical regions of interest, the feeding habits and use of space of selected populations, (3) the ways in which the primates participate in the dynamics of the tropical rain forest and to diagnose the conservation status of wild populations. We hope these efforts will contribute important and new information about the natural history, demography, ecology and behavior of the three species of wild primates ( Alouatta pallliata, A. pigra and Ateles geoffroyi ) that exist in Mexico. These species are the northernmost Neotropical primates in the continent and little is known about them. Such information is fundamental to promote the conservation of the species and to understand their responses to changes in the distribution of their natural habitat as a result of human activity.

Extractions: Ah Meng - the Sumatran orang utan The Singapore Zoo displays a large social group of 26 orang utans in a spacious naturalistic enclosure. Though not the only zoo in the world to display a social group of orang utans, we are the only ones who have done so on such a large scale. The provision of a large enclosure and lots of climbing platforms allow the orang utans to get away from their group members and enjoy moments of peace when needed. The platforms not only allow the apes to develop their natural climbing skills but also serve as escape routes for them should fighting break out. These highly intelligent animals have to be kept occupied or boredom will consume them, which occurs ever so often in captivity. We keep the orang utans busy through the use of a technique known as behavioural enrichment The ability to breed is a good indication of the state of physical and emotional health of a zoo animal, and we are proud to have bred a total of 21 orang utans to date. We have sent some of our orang utans to zoos in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Japan, Australia and New Zealand as part of the worldwide exchange programme to facilitate breeding of this highly endangered ape.

Polyandry In Primates

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~phyl/anthro/polyandry.html

Extractions: Definition: "Groups in which two or more males mate with a single female during a single breeding season and collaborate to raise her offspring" Cooperative polyandry seems to fly in the face of expectations in two ways- First of all, males are expected to raise their reproductive success by gaining access to females. Females don't maximize reproductive success by getting more males! Secondly, it looks like altruism- one of the males is taking care of offspring not related to him! Why is he being a sucker Cooperative polyandry is pretty rare for these reasons. It occurs in scattered animals- some raptors like hawks and eagles have polyandrous mating systems. Also african hunting dogs. In primates, humans in Asia with traditional cultures have polyandrous mating systems, usually for much the same reasons as callitrichids do, who are the only non-human polyandrous primates. Only a few have been studied; common marmoset, cottontop tamarin, golden tamarin, saddleback tamarin. Characteristics of callitrichids They're the smallest of anthropoid primates; all under 1kg. Generally territorial. Diet is mixed- fruit and small prey items. Some eat gums, especially the marmosets who are specialized gummivores. Another important feature is that they produce twins- about 80% of births are twins. They're only primates who twin routinely.

http://natzoo.si.edu/Animals/Primates/Conservation/OrangutanConservation/default

Extractions: Once widespread in Asian tropical forests, orang utans now live only on Sumatra and Borneo, where forest loss is the greatest threat to their existence. Naturally occurring forest fires and those set by farmers and large companies to clear the way for plantations of oil palm, fast-growing pulpwood, and other crops, devastate forests. The destruction spreads even further during dry years. In 1997, an area the size of New Jersey burned in Indonesia, and many of the fires occurred in orang utan habitat. Large reserves and strictly enforced wildlife protection laws are needed to keep orang utans safe from extinction.

Size Orang utans are Asia's largest primates. Researchers have documentedmore than 400 different foods eaten by wild orang utans.
http://natzoo.si.edu/Animals/Primates/Facts/FactSheets/Orangutans/default.cfm

Extractions: These orangish-red-haired apes have long arms and curved hands and feet, which they put to good use when traversing the treetops. Older orang utans usually move through the trees on all fours, while young ones often brachiate, or swing hand over hand. Males have longer hair than females and disc-like cheek pads. Both sexes have throat pouches that make their calls resonate through the forest. The males' pouches are more developed. Orang utans crush tough foliage and hard-shelled nuts with their strong teeth and jaws. Two subspecies exist:

Extractions: Threatened Primates of Bangladesh By Kh. Ismat Hasan Jahid Human, Monkey, Langur, Gibbon and Loris all are the members of the same order Primates. Even 50 years ago these primates specially from monkey to Loris, were found in Bangladesh in a very consistent number. But day by day their number decreased in gradual succession and right now almost all of them are threatened. These mammals are now the members of the IUCN (The World Conservation Union) Red List of threatened animals. Mammals are on the red list of the World Conservation Union. The Red Lists of plants and animals all over the world are an inventory of threatened species whose number are dwindling due to various reasons. The species are usually categorised under different levels of threats towards extinction, such as, Vulnerable, Endangered and Critically Endangered and so on. Such categories of threat levels provide an assessment of the likelihood of extinction under the current circumstances. Thus, listing of a species in a higher risk category implies its higher level of threat towards extinction. These lists are also designed to generate attention to the disappearing species and the conservation needs to protect them. IUCN Bangladesh took the initiative to prepare a Red List of the threatened vertebrates at the national level by realising that the rich biodiversity of Bangladesh was under increasing threat and there existed very little data on the actual status of the threatened species.

for using primates and they have focused their main activities on secondary issues,such as supply and transport of primates, the use of wildcaught animals
http://www.ebra.org/bulletin/july02_96.html

Extractions: One of the more important animal research issues being discussed in Europe is the supply and use of non-human primates in research and testing. The figures published in the 1991 European Union (EU) statistics show that there were 8,545 such primates used in the EU that year, with the majority being used in the UK, Germany and France. The objections to the use of primates comes mostly from campaigning groups who have targeted this issue. However, the scientific justification for using primates cannot be so easily dismissed. A number of areas of virology (including some AIDS research and vaccine development and testing), biotechnology product development and neurobiology research are currently completely dependent on the use of non-human primates. The pressure against primate use has received some support from more respected voices but the arguments presented have not been found convincing. Indeed, it is likely that even the campaigning groups recognise the strength of the scientific justification for using primates and they have focused their main activities on secondary issues, such as supply and transport of primates, the use of wild-caught animals, etc to put pressure on the main issue.

Extractions: November 2002 KSBK (Animal Conservation for Life) has been very successful in its recent work to recover endangered animals that are being kept or sold illegally in Indonesia. August 2002 was an especially busy month for our organization. KSBK members with confiscated gibbon Javas dismal "bird markets" One of the primary activities of KSBK is to place constant pressure on the Indonesian government to enforce wildlife protection laws. In Indonesia, as elsewhere, the illegal trade in wild animals has been a serious threat to wildlife conservation. We believe that essentially all primates offered for sale in our countrys "bird markets" are wild-caught. Indonesias "bird markets" are actually open-air animal markets, where mammals and reptiles of all descriptions-as well as birds-are sold for use as pets or meat under miserable conditions. Primates such as orangutans, siamangs, gibbons, slow lorises, and ebony langurs are freely traded at Javanese bird markets. The two largest bird markets in Java are Pramuka and Barito. Both are located in Jakarta, Indonesias capital city.

Indeed, Cheche is not big and strong like many of the other animals. He knows that he should not be judged by his size, but by his deeds. Nowhere can be found a more earnest and noble animal, of any size. So Cheche holds his head up high (though not as high as the other animals!) As the African proverb says, "In the great river there are large and small fish." CHECHE IS A VERVET MONKEY. Because of their relative small size, vervet monkeys have many natural predators. Leopards and other cats hunt vervets. Crocodiles target these monkeys. Birds of prey swoop down and grab vervets. Some snakes wait under trees for unsuspecting vervets (African pythons swallow them whole!).

Extractions: One in every three of the world's apes, monkeys, lemurs, and other primates is now endangered with extinction, according to a report released this week by Conservation International (CI) and the Primate Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Primate species and sub-species classified as "critically endangered" and "endangered" jumped nearly two-thirds from 120 to 195 since the initial report was issued in January 2000. Asia now accounts for almost half of the world's most endangered primates, with 11 listed in the top 25, including six that are new additions. Africa (eight), central and South America (three), and Madagascar (three) are home to the other primates on the list. These include the Sumatran orangutan of Indonesia, the mountain gorilla of Africa, and northern muriqui of Brazil. The Natuna banded leaf monkey, (
