This proposal aim to generate actual distribution maps and population of the Panamanian primates, to better focus conservation actions, and will involve the local community to lead conservation plans under FCPP affiliation and supervision.
Fundacion Pro-Conservacion de los Primates Panamenos (FCPP) will carry out the first population counts of non-human Primates of Panama. We work with 13 primates subspecies; Saguinus geoffroyi, Saimiri oerstedii, Aotus zonalis, Alouatta p. palliata, A.p. aequatorialis, A.coibensis coibensis, A.c.trabeata, Ateles geoffroyi panamensis, A.g.azuerensis, A.g.grisescens, A.fusciceps rufiventris, Cebus imitator, C.capucinus.
The project will involve local communities to apply conservation depending on results obtained from Species Distribution Modelling.
