Zusatztext An Introduction to Primate Conservation is a welcome introduction for anyone interested in conservation topics on a broad scale. In this book, and with the exception of a few well-described examples, we rarely get to know the individuals we wish to protect. But after reading the book, we know how to do so. That is, we know what the issues are, what the threats are, and how to ideally tackle them. Informationen zum Autor Serge A.

Report
This volume is an excellent compendium of the basis for primate conservation, and the issues, means, and diverse aspects involved. A good introduction it is, and clearly an essential, easy-to-read, very nicely produced textbook for university courses. Anthony B. Rylands, Quarterly Review of Biology
