Primates are flagship species and good indicators for the health of an ecosystem. Many primate species are sensitive to habitat alteration, and are often hunted out first. They also℗ℓplay an important role as seed dispersal agents for the regeneration of the forest. Central American Biodiversity compares results from these two field sites with regional trends to℗ℓexplore potential solutions. This book strongly calls for new approaches in conservation, making the case for looking beyond pure species biology and classic conservation,℗ℓencouraging the reader℗ℓto take into account the economic and political realities.}, number = {820351}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-2208-6}, recid = {733546}, pages = {1 online resource (xxviii, 805 pages) :}, }
