Abstract

Primate conservationists monitor the numbers of primate populations around the world as they decline at the hands of human activity. However, it is important to make realistic assessments of the survival prospects of different endangered primate species. Considerations should be made of behavioral genetic, and ecological traits that might create greater or lesser vulnerability to extinction given the same human impacts. A brief consideration of two rare Asian monkeys, the lion-tailed macaque and the proboscis monkey, illustrates the need to focus on the unique complex of traits of each species to devise realistic conservation strategies. General unifying models of vulnerability to extinction are relatively unhelpful.
