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.
Preservation of primates is listed in the GenAI.Works courses directory, from University of Colorado.
