Potential solutions in the form of management practice are examined in detail, including chapters on conservation genetics, protected areas, and translocation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn Introduction to Primate Conservation brings together an international team of specialists with wide-ranging expertise across primate taxa.
