Overview
Primate conservation and management is the study and practice of protecting and managing primate populations in both the wild and captivity. Primate conservation is needed to ensure the species do not become extinct due to over-exploitation, habitat loss and other human-caused disturbances. Primate conservation and management also include research about the behavior, health and environment of the species. It is important to understand the species in order to effectively protect and manage the population. Primate conservation and management is used to develop strategies for the protection, recovery, and sustainable management of endangered species, while also ensuring the well-being of wild primate populations. It is also important to reduce human-induced impacts, such as illegal hunting and habitat destruction, on primate species. By conserving and managing primates, species will be able to continue to contribute to their local ecosystems, and humans will be able to benefit from their continued presence.
