Download or read book Conservation Strategies for Delacour s Langur Ttrachypithecus Delacouri in Vietnam written by Fiona Louise Agmen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delacour's langur (Trachypithecus delacouri) is a critically endangered Southeast Asian colobine, found in the karst outcrops of northern Vietnam. Half of the remaining population (estimated at fewer than 200 individuals) resides within Van Long Nature Reserve, Ninh Binh Province. This thesis aims to further the conservation of T. delacouri by reviewing the first release of captive-bred individuals as a potential conservation tool for the species, along with acquiring a greater understanding of the species' behaviour. Behavioural focal observations were conducted throughout 2011, both on wild groups at Van Long and captive individuals at the Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC) at Cuc Phuong National Park. A group of three individuals was released by the EPRC into Van Long in August 2011 in an aim to connect populations and promote interbreeding, and was tracked using GPS radio collars for a period of up to 13.5 months, with the release then evaluated in line with IUCN reintroduction guidelines. Activity budgets of the wild versus captive T. delacouri populations showed significant differences, although both were in line with typical colobine budgets. Inactivity dominated (wild 75.0%, captive 61.9%), with feeding behaviours also playing a major part (wild 21.3%, captive 29.0%). Sex differences were minimal, but age differences showed that young were more social, and adults spent more time inactive and less time feeding. Both affiliative and antagonistic social interactions were common, with females and young most likely to be involved in affiliative behaviours. Infants showed significant changes in their behaviour as they aged, becoming increasingly social and independent, with allomothering witnessed. Vocalisations were predominantly performed by adult males, with grunts the most common call (61.2%) of the seven identified. An individual's sex/age class was significantly linked to the type of vocalisation performed. T. delacouri vocalisation behaviour was relatively similar to that of other limestone langurs, although some differences in call structure were found. The released individuals all survived for a minimum of five months before tracking was disrupted for one, showing some wild-like behaviours, although their behaviours were largely atypical. The group quickly separated to travel as individuals, and ranged extensively with the adult male covering 1020ha in 9.5 months. Average day journey lengths were comparable to other limestone langurs (453m-735m), but the individuals did not develop distinct home ranges. A strong diurnal trend in movement showed two peaks at early morning and late afternoon, but minimal seasonal differences were detected. More extensive monitoring is needed to determine whether or not the release was a success, but the project fulfilled an important role as a pilot study to learn how best to conduct a release and how the animals will behave. In reviewing the release it was found to have broadly followed the IUCN guidelines, although gaps were identified suggesting more formalised planning, risk assessments, and consultation was needed. Moving forward, the possibility of translocating existing T. delacouri subpopulations, rather than conducting further captive releases, should be explored as a conservation strategy, along with continuing the effective protection measures in place at Van Long.

Download or read book Raffles Banded Langur The Elusive Monkey Of Singapore And Malaysia written by Andie Ang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Stamford Raffles came across an unnamed new species in 1821 when he was documenting natural history in Singapore. This elusive primate, the Raffles' banded langur, was later named after him. This book is a one-stop resource for everything we know about the critically endangered primate that is only found in Singapore and Malaysia, including its distribution, diet, family structure, infant development, threats and conservation. The Raffles' banded langur is a large but slender-bodied monkey with black fur and white bands, while the infants are born with white fur and black bands. Exclusive high-quality photographs of the langurs are featured with family trees illustrating individually-named langurs. Interesting anecdotes about their personalities and behaviours are narrated. Living high up in the tree canopy, they eat a variety of local produce and exotic plants, from the red, juicy rambutans, stinky petai beans, to leafy angsana, perfumed wild cinnamon flowers and large sea almond fruits. This book showcases the diverse habitats of the Raffles' banded langurs, bringing us from the freshwater swamp forest in Singapore to the steep slopes of Gunung Lambak and the primary rainforests of Endau Rompin National Park in Johor, Malaysia. The book also highlights the cross-border conservation efforts and future plans to safeguard the long-term survival of the Raffles' banded langur, and promotes a better understanding and appreciation of our shared natural heritage.

This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, Tilo Nadler, an ageing German welder turned air-conditioning engineer, photographer, filmmaker and self-made biologist arrived in Vietnam for training foresters in Cuc Phuong National Park to secure the Park from poachers, hunters and vandals. Within two months, he is tasked with the care of two confiscated sub adult male Delacour’s langurs, a rare, endemic and critically endangered primate species. This book narrates Tilo’s story to start-up a world class rehabilitation centre for endangered primates against all odds in Vietnam. This book celebrates two possibilities. First, endangered primates are given a new lease of life at Endangered Primates Rescue Centre (EPRC) after their rescue from sordid conditions and joined-up with other survivors in captivity before their final release into appropriate habitat to establish troops. Second, the raising of troops or foot soldiers groomed by Tilo in the art and science of primate rehabilitation. Tilo’s abiding passion is to make both his troops gain a foothold in Vietnam.
Download or read book Primates in Flooded Habitats written by Katarzyna Nowak and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly half the world's primate species use flooded habitats at one time or another, from swamp-going Congo gorillas and mangrove-eating proboscis monkeys, to uacaris in Amazonian riverside forests. This first-ever volume on the subject brings together experts from around the world in a ground breaking volume spanning fossil history, current biology and future research and conservation priorities. Flooded habitats are a vital part of tropical biology, both for the diversity of the species they house, and the complexity of their ecological interactions, but are often completely overlooked. This book will set the stage for a new wave of research on primates in these extraordinarily productive and highly threatened areas, and is ideal for researchers and graduate students in primatology, zoology, ecology, and conservation.
Download or read book Evidence based Conservation written by Terry C.H. Sunderland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a considerable gap between the science of conservation biology and the design and execution of biodiversity conservation projects in the field. Science is often failing to inform the practice of conservation, which remains largely experience-based. The main reason is the poor accessibility of evidence on the effectiveness of different interventions. This is the basis for this book adopting an 'evidence-based approach', modelled on the systematic reviews used in health sciences and now being applied to many policy arenas. Evidence-based Conservation brings together a series of case studies, written by field practitioners, that provides the evidence-base for evaluating how effective conservation and poverty alleviation strategies can be better implemented. A series of systematic reviews uses experiences and data from fifteen integrated conservation and development projects conducted in the Lower Mekong region, specifically in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. They provide wide-ranging overviews of the effectiveness of protected areas and how innovative tools and methods for monitoring and evaluation can be utilised for more effective outcomes. Results are in the form of management and policy recommendations, based on the quality of evidence and the cost-utility of the intervention. By bridging the gap between field practice and conservation, the analysis should lead to more effective integrated conservation and development interventions. The book represents one of the first attempts to apply the evidence-based approach to conservation and development.
