FIELD RESEARCH ON PRIMATES IN THAILAND*

 

WARREN Y. BROCKELMAN

ABSTRACT: Field research in Thailand is summarized under the following headings: (1) sys. tematic and evolutionary; (2) ecological and behavioral; (3) conservation; and (4) man. agement. AIthough beginnings have been made in all these fields, a great deal of urgent work needs to be done on the 13 species of nonhuman primates native to Thailand. The most pressing local needs are: (1) survey and inventory of natural populations; (2) training of expertise in primate biology; and (3) establishment of cooperative management and conservation programs.
