Abstract

Neotropical Primates are commonly threatened mostly caused by deforestation and hunt pressure. It is a reality that nowadays there are many subspecies of primates living in reduced areas and poorly studied due to their remote locations, political situations or expensive logistic required. Although population surveys are important to obtain baseline information to conserve critically endangered primates, there are some opportunities where population censuses could be attached with rapid conservation strategies. In this report we recommend some ideas that scientists can develop to collaborate with the survivor of their target species while other studies are underway.
