This volume is an excellent compendium of the basis for primate
conservation, and the issues, means, and diverse aspects involved.
A good introduction it is, and clearly an essential, easy-to-read,
very nicely produced textbook for university courses.
*Anthony B. Rylands, Quarterly Review of Biology*
The book fills a gap and will do a great job in training the next
generation of primatologists and conservationists in understanding
the proximate causes and mechanisms of the primate extinction
crisis.
*Eckhard W. Heymann, Primate Biology*
An Introduction to Primate Conservation is a welcome introduction
for anyone interested in conservation topics on a broad scale. In
this book, and with the exception of a few well-described examples,
we rarely get to know the individuals we wish to protect. But after
reading the book, we know how to do so. That is, we know what the
issues are, what the threats are, and how to ideally tackle
them.
*Thibaud Gruber, Conservation Biology*
