Download or read book Proboscis Monkeys Of Borneo written by Govindasamy Agoramoorthy and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proboscis monkey is a fascinating primate and it is found only on the tropical island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. The wild populations are often restricted to coastal rainforest, mangrove forest and riverine forest. They feed on the naturally-occurring leaves and fruits from the forest. Little is know about their population dynamics, ecology and social behavior. Besides, it is not all that easy to keep them alive in captivity due to their specialized leafy diet. Only a few zoos in Asia display these rare monkeys. The author, an international primatologist with three decades of field research experience, has studied these amazing monkeys, both in the wild (in-situ) and in captivity (ex-situ). In this monograph, the author has synthesized his scientific research on proboscis monkeys in the wild and in zoo setting with details on population, ecology, behavior, conservation and management. Therefore this monograph should serve as an introductory and reference text on primatology and animal behavior related courses in colleges, universities and institutes of higher learning globally.

Book excerpt: This book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His message: to know these animals is to save them. Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents an argument for saving all the species of our planet.

Download or read book The Proboscis Monkey written by Tanya Turner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proboscis Monkey is a rare and one-of-a-kind species. Proboscis Monkey is different from the other types of monkeys because it has a very special trait - it has a long nose (a proboscis nose is a long nose). This monkey's nose is so long, in fact, it is also called the "long-nosed monkey." The Proboscis Monkey is a large species of monkey. The males usually measure anywhere from 26 to 35 inches in length - and that measurement only applies to their head and body measurement (they have very long tails, as well). Males of this size weigh about 35 to 60 pounds - so a typical male Proboscis Monkey can be the size and weight of a small child. You can find Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo, Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They live in forests and plantations and areas where there are bodies of water.

Download or read book Conservation of the Proboscis Monkey and the Orangutan in Borneo written by Clement Allan Tisdell and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on their presence in Borneo, the ecology and conservation of two large Southeast Asian primates, the orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) are reviewed. The former species occurs only in Borneo and Sumatra and the latter only in Borneo. The comparative threats facing these two endangered primates and their approximate numbers in the wild are put into perspective. The long-term survival of both species is adversely affected by the degradation and conversion of their suitable forest habitat by logging and agriculture, the occurrence of hunting and poaching, and forest fires. The effectiveness of measures to conserve these species are discussed and evaluated from the standpoint of economics. It is concluded that informed assessment of the opportunity costs of conserving these species and their habitat is required and better incentives for law enforcement must be created. Properly regulated ecotourism may draw the necessary attention to the plight of these species and may even help fund conservation research. Economics can help identify least, or low, cost opportunities for conserving species as is demonstrated in this article, even if it is not always possible to demonstrate their economic value convincingly.
