All Asian Primates

by Sylvain Beauséjour, Anthony B. Rylands, Russell A. Mittermeier

This book presents photomontages of 193 Asian primates in their natural habitats, the fruit of hundreds of amateur and professional wildlife photographers, primatologists and wildlife protection organizations.

• All currently recognized species and subspecies, along with images showing variation in pelage colour for nine of them, and images of 19 subspecies named as distinct subspecies in the past but which are now considered to be junior synonyms.
• With brief, fully referenced taxonomic notes and a description of the geographic distributions of each, along with range maps.
• Notes on the threats each are facing, their threatened status according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and notes on protected areas and conservation measures.
• Checklists of the primates in each of the 22 countries where they naturally occur.
