PASA’s 2020 Census Report reveals that, despite the unprecedented obstacles, PASA-member sanctuaries continued to expertly care for more than 3,000 great apes and monkeys across the African continent. What’s more: not a single sanctuary has ceased operations as a result of the pandemic.
Mar 19, 2020 · Conservation authorities have created a safe haven for threatened chimpanzees and several other species of monkey. Orphaned by poaching, saved from the pet or bushmeat trade, rescued primates are...

Our results demonstrated that the majority of primates are affected by more than 7 major threat types, with some, such as cercopithecines and colobines, facing 10 and 11 major threats, respectively. This highlights the need for varied and robust evidence-based conservation actions. The Conservation Evidence working group (www.conservationevidence.c...
Primate conservation needs a greater focus on the creation of new protected areas and on improving enforcement of current protected areas to safeguard preferred habitats, reduce habitat fragmentation and prevent illegal hunting and collection of primates. There is evidence that that improving enforcement of protected areas is more effective than mo...
As the majority of primates live outside protected areas, the conservation community and primate range states must put considerable effort into effectively supporting the sustainable use of natural resources for communities living alongside primate populations, as well as alternative livelihoods and codeveloping strategies to improve human–primate ...
While agriculture is a major threat affecting all primate regions, its impact in Madagascar is the largest. This may be a product of the underdevelopment of Madagascar and the level of poverty, where 75% of the population was estimated to live below the international poverty line (World Bank, 2019). In general, conservation granting bodies tend to ...
Our model determined that the threat of Human Intrusion & Disturbance (such as civil unrest), Agriculture, and Climate Change & Severe Weather had the largest impact on determining a species conservation status. Region also had an impact in the model, as a species from Madagascar or Asia is almost 5 or 3 times more likely to be considered at higher...
Although these results seem promising for a predictive model to help with classifying poorly known species, the predictive power of the model was only 41.2%, which may mean more factors need to be considered or that other key factors may be more accurate predictors of conservation status (e.g., current area of occupancy, or key life history traits)...
Another potential limitation of the IUCN Red List assessment system was highlighted when we compared threats identified in the Red List with those in recent literature. Climate change was a key factor in our model predicting a higher conservation status among primates on the Red List. However, in our analysis of the threats facing primates using IU...
Oct 3, 2024 · Those who hail from crowded megacities such as Kinshasa, which has an estimated population of 15 million people, rarely set foot in the jungle or other wilderness areas, for example. Inogwabini has a private farm a few hours’ drive from the capital where his students occasionally visit to learn how to measure rainfall and tree growth, among ...
