More DescriptionThis is a prospectus to produce a multi-authored volume on Indonesian Primates. The basic goal of the volume is to compile the most up to date research on the behavior, ecology and conservation status of Indonesian primates. Indonesia possesses the second largest primate population in the world, with over 33 different primate species. Although Brazil possesses more primate species, Indonesia outranks it in terms of its diversity of primates, ranging from prosimians (slow lorises and tarsiers), to a multitude of Old World Monkey species (macaques, langurs, proboscis moneys) to lesser apes (siamangs, gibbons) and great apes (orangutans). The primates of Indonesia are distributed throughout the archipelago.
