Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) S.L. Gursky-Doyen dedicates this volume to her parents, Ronnie Bender and Burt Gursky, who after all these years still do not really know what she does, but they proudly display her books on their coffee table; and to her husband Jimmie who taught her what love is. Jatna Supriatna dedicates this volume to all Indonesian primatologists who have been struggling to save the most diverse primates on earth. Also to his family and to colleagues in the Department of Biology at the University of Indonesia and Conservation International Indonesia who have supported me throughout my tenure. Acknowledgments The contributions and comments of many people have been critical to the develop- ment of this edited volume and we would like to acknowledge their pivotal role. Our profound thanks to all the authors who contributed to this volume. We would also like to thank the many anonymous reviewers for the time and effort they put into critiquing the papers presented in this volume. Thanks to Janet Slobodien, the editor at Springer (and her assistants), and Dr. Russell Tuttle for allowing this volume to be a part of the Developments in Primatology series. S.L. Gursky-Doyen would like to acknowledge a number of organizations that have been exceedingly generous with their logistic and financial support. Texas A&M University has provided both financial support for Gursky-Doyen’s research as well as logistic support in the form of time off from teaching responsibilities. The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and the Indonesian Department of Forestry (PHPA) regularly granted Gursky-Doyen permission to conduct research in protected forest. The Fulbright Foundation, Primate Conservation Inc., Conservation International Primate Action Fund, LSB Leakey Foundation, Wenner–Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the National Science Foundation and the National Geographic Society have all provided Gursky-Doyen with funds at various stages of her fieldwork in Indonesia. Jatna Supriatna would like to thank several individuals and organizations that have supported his work in Indonesia. Dr. Russell Mittermeier and Dr. Anthony Rylands from Conservation International and IUCN-SSC-Primate Specialist Group, respectively, have each enriched his understanding of primate conservation throughout the world. While in Indonesia, Dr. Sukarya Somadikarta, Dr. Indrawati Ganjar, Dr. Noviar Andayani, Mr. Jarot Arisona Aji from the University of Indonesia helped him develop a fuller understanding of Indonesian biodiversity. Both Conservation International Indonesia and the Department of Biology at the University of Indonesia have supported his work either by providing funds or stu- dents to work with him. In addition, the Indonesian Primatologist Association, the Southeast Asia Primatologist Association and IUCN-SSC-Primate Specialist Group have also worked with Jatna to develop primate action plans and workshops to save Indonesia’s primates. vii Contents 1 Introduction................................................................................................ 1 Nanda Grow, Sharon Gursky-Doyen, and Jatna Supriatna Part I Indonesia’s Apes 2 Measuring Performance of Orangutan Protection and Monitoring Unit: Implications for Species Conservation............... 9 Jito Sugardjito and Asep S.
