About Preservation of primates course
We currently face a potential extinction crisis for primates (and many other life forms). In this course, we will explore threats to primate conservation on a global scale. We will use the book "Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates 2018-2020" by Schwitzer et al. (2019) as a framework for discussing global primate populations. We will examine the conservation status, conservation threats, successes, and failures in protecting our closest evolutionary relatives.
