Trade, shipping the monkeys back to Europe, began in the 16th century, and continues today, sending them to countries worldwide for zoos, privately owned pets, and for research. In this study, we characterize the legal trade of Neotropical primates from South America, with particular emphasis on Brazil, as evidenced in the CITES Trade Database website. Taking into account wild animals between 1977 and 2013, there were nearly 1,300 transactions, over half of which (60%) were reported to be commercial. Imports by zoos (10%) and for scientific purposes (6.5%) involved almost 90,000 primates. Sixty-three countries imported Neotropical primates and, with the exception of Ecuador, all South American countries exported live animals. The individual contribution of different countries to the trade fluctuated over the years. Only eight species showed numbers superior to 1% of the total number of exported primates. Considering captive animals, there were nearly 300 transactions, involving 4,827 individuals, with a smaller number of species and exporters. The amount of traded primates is relevant and deserves monitoring. Nevertheless, we noticed a trend towards stabilization of the numbers of species and total numbers of exported individuals over the last decade.

They are subject to change. MADAGASCAR ~ AN OVERVIEW Madagascar split off from the African continent 80 million years ago to form the world’s fourth largest island. It’s a living laboratory for evolution, where the adventurous traveler can explore its diverse landscape of spiny desert, tropical moist and dry forests, and mountainous terrain in search of Madagascar’s renowned odd creatures and botanical marvels. The vast majority of its flora and fauna are endemic, meaning they exist nowhere else in the world. These include more than 100 species of lemurs. The most endangered tortoise in the world, Angokoka—commonly known as ploughshare—and many unusual birds, frogs and chameleons all make their home in a country with a unique blend of Asian and African cultures. Marco Polo first reported the island’s existence. Throughout the centuries, embattled African slaves, intrepid Indian and Portuguese traders, European pirates, and French colonists arrived at its shores, eventually establishing 18 official “tribes.” During our travels, we’ll discover the creative spirit of the Malagasy people expressed in their thoughtful and colorful monuments honoring their ancestors. As we traverse this beautiful island paradise of contrasting arid and tropical landscapes, we’ll discover the gift of Malagasy hospitality along with a vast store of incomparable memories.

    Madagascar Greater Bamboo Lemur Prolemur simus (Gray, 1871) Madagascar (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008) Patricia C. Wright, Eileen Larney, Edward E. Louis Jr., Rainer Dolch & Radoniana R. Rafaliarison The greater bamboo lemur (Prolemur simus) is the largest of Madagascar’s bamboo-eating lemurs (Albrecht et al. 1990) and the most critically endangered lemur in Madagascar (Ganzhorn et al. 1996, 1997; Konstant et al. 2006; Mittermeier et al. 2006; Ganzhorn and Johnson 2007; Wright et al. 2008). Although its placement in Prolemur has been questioned (for example, Tattersall 2007), it now represents a monospecific genus, based on a suite of distinctive dental and chromosomal characteristics (Vuillaume-Randriamanantena et al. 1985; Macedonia and Stanger 1994) that support its separation from the genus Hapalemur (cf. Groves 2001). Genetic studies further suggest that Hapalemur may, in fact, be more months, while it relies on its shoots and leaves at other closely related to the genus Lemur (Rumpler et al. times of the year.

Photograph by K. A. I. Nekaris. A Word from the Chairman This, the 19th issue of Primate Conservation, has suffered a long delay in publication, arising to some extent from the increasingly significant role of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group newsletters (African Primates, Asian Primates, Lemur News and Neotropical Primates), which are themselves evolving into journals in their own right, but also related to uncertainty as to its future. Its production is informal, and each issue requires funding in direct competition with the newsletters. Primate Conservation has played a key role in allowing for the publication of highly significant conservation-related research, most especially distribution and status surveys, which were difficult to publish elsewhere, and with the added advantage of it being distributed for free. Today, however, the more formal subscription journals, notably the International Journal of Primatology, the official journal of the International Primatological Society (IPS), increasingly publish conservation-related research (note IJPs earmarking of the aye-aye with its “Vivamus” sign).
