Awic31 Amendments include recovery plans for listed endangered and threatened species, ILAR REPORT ON PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING OF NONHUMAN primates http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/newsletters/v3n1.htm
Extractions: Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, Commission on Life Sciences, National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences The Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources (ILAR) has served a vital function in the scientific community for 40 years. ILAR provides expert counsel on laboratory animals and writes guidelines for their care and use. As the public focuses more on animal care issues, the resources and services ILAR provides have become increasingly more important. Looking Back As ILAR celebrates its 40th anniversary, a look back demonstrates how its focus has evolved. ILAR originated at a conference on animal procurement, called in July 1952, to investigate the need for an organization devoted to þthe betterment of quality and quantity in test animalsþ (ILAR News, 1(1):2, 1957). From this conference, a committee on animal procurement was formed. By January 1953, the committee was reorganized into a permanent entity þ the Institute of Animal Resources. For clarity, in 1956 the name was changed to the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources.
Primate Conservation In Vietnam These protected areas maintain most endemic and threatened primates n Vietnam. With these measures Vietnam can save the endangered primates by captive http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~vern/iebr.html
Extractions: Hanoi, Vietnam Vietnam with a total land area of 331,041 sq.km. is situated in South-East Asia. Vietnam previously was almost entirely forested. This provides suitable conditions for a diversity and abundance of primate fauna. However, after a long period of war and uncontrolled forest exploitation, the forest cover has reduced to 40% of its original. Vietnam has a population of 69,3 millions and annual growth rate of 2,4%. The minority people who live mainly in mountainous zones close to forests exploit forest for basic needs in the form of fuel wood an lumber. Forest is continually subjected to logging, hunting, clearance for agriculture and settlement. These activities continue degrading forest, and in particular primate resources, which all depend on forest habitat.

Extractions: Endangered Animal Printouts Endangered animals are those species that are in danger of going extinct. Their reproductive rates are lower than their mortality rates over long periods of time, so their numbers are diminishing. The reasons for this are varied, but lately, very often involves a loss of habitat as people encroach on their living areas. When a species is listed as endangered or threatened, it is not a death sentence. Many animals, like the bald eagle and the American alligator, were on the brink of extinction and are now recovering. Many species, however, will not recover, and could be lost forever. Throughout time, animal species have been going extinct (long before people evolved); paleontologists estimate that well over 90 percent of all plant and animal species that ever existed have gone extinct.
WWF | Wildlife Trade | FAQs | Primate Trade Under the US endangered Species Act, 58 primate species and five subspecies are listed as endangered, and 13 species are listed as threatened. http://www.worldwildlife.org/trade/faqs_primate.cfm
Extractions: Scientists recognize about 200 different species of nonhuman primates, most of which are distributed throughout the tropical rainforests of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The close biological relationship of nonhuman primates to human beings makes nonhuman primates desirable as models for biomedical research. Primates are also sought by zoological parks, and many are popular � though often illegal � pets in some parts of the world. Primates are also an important source of protein for people in certain countries, particularly in parts of Africa and the Amazon region of South America. Are primates endangered? Many primates are in danger of extinction. Ninety percent of all primates live in tropical rain forests around the world. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of hectares of these forests are destroyed every year, shrinking the habitat available to primates and other rain forest species. The 2002 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals lists 118 primate species as threatened, compared to only 96 in their 1996 assessment. The chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ) of west and central Africa, the mountain gorilla (

Extractions: By most estimates, there are about 500 chimpanzees living in private hands in North America. Around 100 of the lucky ones are living in bona fide sanctuaries, from Canada to Florida to Oregon. The remaining 400 chimpanzees live in human homes, or are unwitting / nonconsenting employees of roadside zoos, greeting card photographers, special events enterprises (with names like "Party Chimps" or "Rent-a-Chimp"), and entertainment promoters. Where did these chimpanzees come from? In 1973, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) created an international treaty to protect endangered wildlife. Signatories agreed to ban or restrict importation and exportation of plants and animals listed in the treaty; all non-human primates are included on the lists. Shortly after the CITES treaty came into existence, the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed. The intent of the ESA, enforced by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), is to regulate trade in endangered and threatened species into this country, and control their movement between states. In 1976, chimpanzees were included on the "threatened" list. "Threatened" means that the species is "...likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range."

Extractions: The Worlds Top 25 Most Endangered Primates 2004 Mittermeier R.A., Valladares-Pádua C.V., Rylands A.B. In January 2000, Conservation International and the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group released a report, prepared by William R. Konstant and Russell A. Mittermeier on behalf of Conservation International and the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group, entitled The Worlds Top 25 Most Endangered Primates: a list of threatened prosimians, monkeys and apes whose survival beyond the present century will depend heavily on actions taken now by our own species. At the time, approximately 120 of the worlds estimated 620 primates were registered as being in serious danger of extinction. The Top 25 named in 2000 were merely the tip of the iceberg. The idea behind the production of this list was not merely to record the absolutely most endangered species, but to draw attention to those which are extremely (most) endangered and currently lacking national and international attention for their conservation - those most in need of research and protective measures.
