Please note: Donations to CWAPC are managed by Kimya Institute , a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Donations are tax-deductible. CWAPC believes that stronger state laws are desperately needed to address and prevent the tragic incidents that surround the issue of keeping dangerous wild animals as pets. At the state level, legislation is passed for statewide enforcement. Working together to pass legislation, CWAPC will make a difference in reducing the availability, volume and presence of dangerous wild animals as pets.

Our Ecological Footprint Ending the Explosion The Next 100 Years Vanishing Giants Paul Raven Primates Earth Policy News - Primates Disappearing, OUR CLOSEST RELATIVES ARE DISAPPEARING www.earth-policy.org/Updates/Update7.htm Janet Larsen After more than a century of no known primate extinctions, scientists recently confirmed the disappearance of a subspecies of a West African monkey. The loss of this monkey, known as Miss Waldron's red colobus, may be a harbinger of future losses of our closest evolutionary relatives. Out of some 240 known primate species, 19 are critically endangered, up from 13 in 1996. This classification refers to species that have suffered extreme and rapid reductions in population or habitat. Their remaining numbers range from less than a few hundred to, at most, a few thousand individuals. If their populations continue to shrink at recent rates, some species will not survive this decade. This group, according to the World Conservation Union's 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, includes 8 monkeys from Brazil's Atlantic rainforest, where 97 percent of the forest has been lost, 2 apes and a monkey from Indonesia, 3 monkeys from Viet Nam, 1 each from Kenya and Peru, and 3 lemur species from Madagascar. At the endangered level, the IUCN's next degree of threat, there are 46 primate species, up from 29 in 1996. These species face a very high probability of extinction, some within the next 20 years. An additional 51 species are listed as vulnerable. These primates have slightly larger populations but still may disappear within this century. Critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable species together total 116, or nearly half of the 240 some primate species. See table

Archive A walk on the wild side Scientists at The University of Liverpool attracted world-wide attention when they demonstrated how certain early hominids would have walked, and reconstructed the gait of apes which lived ~20M years ago. Recently, research by the same team has led to explanations for a number of evolutionary puzzles. Reconstruction of 3.6M years-old 'Lucy' walking 'Lucy' is probably the world's most well-known fossil skeleton. Discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, she is the most complete example we have of Australopithecus afarensis , an early hominid which lived ~3.6M years ago. Less than four feet tall, with a small brain and a big jaw, Lucy's face probably resembled a chimpanzee's - but her hip and knee resembled a human's.

updated at midnight GMT search nature science update advanced search Bushmeat seeds new virus Wild primate virus in African hunters warns of next pandemic. 19 March 2004 HELEN PEARSON Our primate relatives harbour diseases that can spread to humans through the foodchain. Hunting and butchering of bushmeat is infecting people in Central Africa with a new virus, scientists say. The virus hasn't caused illness in those infected, but its spread hints that future pandemics might follow HIV out of the jungle. The same practice of hunting and eating animals such as monkeys and chimpanzees is thought to have sparked the HIV pandemic, when animal forms called SIV crossed into humans. But researchers do not know what other viruses these animals harbour, or whether they are being passed to people. To get a handle on this, a team of researchers from the United States and Cameroon studied simian foamy virus, which is endemic in wild primates but does not cause them disease. They examined the blood of nearly 1,100 people from nine separate villages for signs of infection with the virus, and report their findings in The Lancet Ten people carried antibodies to simian foamy virus in their blood, suggesting they had been exposed to it. And at least three picked up the virus from separate animals - a gorilla, a mandrill and a type of monkey called a De Brazza's guenon - based on comparison of viral DNA sequences in their blood with those from the animals.

Friday 27/08/04 Time: 10:30/19:00 Lingotto Fiere: Sala Berlino This symposium will provide a platform for recent advances in conflict management (pre- and post-conflict mechanisms) and post-conflict resolution in primates. A large body of research has demonstrated the widespread occurrence of reconciliation across, mostly captive, primates and a framework now exists to predict the patterning of the occurrence of reconciliation in group living species. One view currently emerging is of pre- and post-conflict behaviour as a vital component of relationship negotiation within the social marketplace and its use as a social tool. Speakers are invited to present studies dealing with any issue of conflict management and conflict resolution in primates. de Waal F.B.M. “Reconciliation, celebration, and other ways to reduce conflict” Kutsukake N., Suetsugu N., Hasegawa T.

Transportation of Primates for Research: Position of U.S. Airlines The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) has surveyed U.S. airlines on their position regarding transporting nonhuman primates for research. This has been done several times during the past decade. In addition, API has sent correspondence to major U.S. air carriers known to have participated in the practice in the past. Following is a brief description of the responses received. American Airlines In a letter dated February 23, 2001, American stated it had ceased transporting wild primates based on growing employee concern for potential exposure to disease. "Our published position to accept only captive-bred primates results from requests by zoological societies to transport individual animals between zoos and other similar establishments. It is not intended to encourage shipments of multiple animals or multiple shipments of individual animals for any purpose whether captive bred or wild caught." The last known American Airlines shipment of primates into the U.S. took place in 1999. Continental Airlines A letter to BUAV, dated May 18, 2000, reaffirmed a policy adopted in December 1993 not to carry live primates traveling to or from any international city. According to the correspondence, "This policy was not applied to domestic shipments because we wanted to continue to allow transportation of primates between United States' zoos."

Visions of Primates The Satya Interview with Dale Peterson Dale Peterson is the author several books, including The Deluge and the Ark: A Journey into Primate Worlds (Houghton Mifflin, 1989), and co-author with Jane Goodall of Visions of Caliban: On Chimpanzees and People (University of Georgia Press, 2000). He is also editor of a two-volume autobiography of Goodall, An Autobiography in Letters (Houghton Mifflin, 2000), the first volume of which was published in April. He recently spoke with Catherine Clyne about how he became interested in primates and the crucial issues that they face in the wild. What inspired you to write The Deluge and the Ark and to continue exploring primates with Jane Goodall in Visions of Caliban The Deluge and the Ark I started from zero not even knowing what a primate is. I did a glut of research, but at that point all I had was an encyclopedia of facts. I realized that I had to travel and actually see primates for myself. I started late in life; it was all a big adventure for me. Basically, I bought a plane ticket to Brazil and just dropped into a rainforest to look for primates, so it was totally self-taught. So The Deluge and the Ark The Deluge and the Ark Visions of Caliban The Tempest . I think it made the issue more attractive to people who were not themselves primatologists.

PRIMATES PONGIDAE Genus PAN Oken, 1816 Chimpanzees There are two species (Dandelot, in Meester and Setzer P. troglodytes (chimpanzee), Guinea to Uganda, and south to Lake Tanganyika, but not including the central forests of Zaire south of the Congo River; P. paniscus (pygmy chimpanzee, bonobo), central Zaire. The latter species sometimes is considered a subspecies of P. troglodytes (see, e.g., Horn 1979), but recent evidence suggests not only that the two are distinct but that P. paniscus bears some resemblance to the ancestral stock that gave rise to the Pongidae and Hominidae (see, e.g., papers in Susman a ). Three other subspecies of P. troglodytes usually are recognized, and Tuttle 1986) followed some older authorities in listing a fourth, P. t. koolokamba, a large, "gorilla-like" animal. Shea 1984), however, explained that koolokamba is based in part on local folklore and that purported specimens thereof have generally turned out to be either large male chimpanzees or small female gorillas. There has been considerable controversy regarding the technically proper generic name for the chimpanzees. Pan is used here because of its familiarity and in the hope of promoting nomenclatural stability. Van Gelder (

Watch Video SAVED: Monkeys saved from neurology experiments and now in NAVS care. Read about our latest rescue Primates Primates in UK labs include baboons, macaques, tamarins, marmosets, and squirrel monkeys. Although basic, there are more guidelines for housing primates than any other species, but these are routinely ignored. Monkeys at St Mary's Hospital Medical School and the Institute of Neurology were kept alone in small cages - no dimensions more than a few feet, no bedding, no foraging materials, and harsh metal grid floors. Using wild caught primates in UK laboratories is 'banned' - unless a researcher makes the case that it is necessary. Baboons have been snatched from the wild because there were not enough captive bred animals available at the time. The lids of one eye of infant macaques were sewn together to study the effects on cells in the central nervous system. A chemical was injected into baboons' brains, and they were subjected to flashing lights, in attempts to create a model of human epilepsy. Yet the two best drugs for people have been on the market for decades, and do not work in the baboon tests.

Hillary Mayell for National Geographic News Updated March 9, 2004 "At the current rate of habitat destruction, orangutans could be extinct in the wild in ten to twenty years," said Cheryl Knott, an anthropologist at Harvard University. By some estimates, more than 80 percent of all orangutan habitat has been destroyed. Although once found throughout southeast Asia, orangutans today live only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, and their numbers have dwindled from perhaps several hundred thousand to between 15,000 to 24,000. The Indonesian State Ministry of Environment estimates that five to six million acres of forest every year are being lost to logging. Illegal logging, once more or less restricted to forests along riverbanks, has moved deeper into the core forest. In January of this year, loggers in Borneo moved into the once sacrosanct Gunung Palung National Park, home to 2,500 orangutans and a 20-year study site.

96. Wild Animals Are Not Pets You cannot take the wild out of a wild Animal!! What About Primatesas Pets? (Please see Health Risks) National Sanctuary for Retired http://www.wildanimalorphanage.org/wild.html

Wild and exotic animals do not make good pets simply because they revert to their natural instincts sooner or later. A cute tiger cub is cuddly and sweet during the first few months of life. When it matures, it becomes very dangerous due to it's weight (300-500 pounds) and size. Wild animals kept in sterile conditions, i.e., backyard cages, homes, etc. do NOT thrive happily or healthily. An exotic cub, cute and little at 6 weeks old, will eventually grow anywhere from 200-600 lbs. depending on the species. Feeding, housing and handling the animal properly becomes extremely expensive and dangerous. NO wild animal can be vaccinated for rabies! If they bite or scratch, even in play, they must be destroyed. Texas State Law. Exotic animals CAN carry some diseases which are communicable to humans. When an exotic animal matures (2-3 yrs.) their instincts take over and they become extremely dangerous. Many children and adults have been mauled and/or killed by their own so-called house pets. ALL wild animals sold as pets are pulled away from their mothers just a few days or weeks old.

THESE PHOTOS MAY DISTURB Breeders Captives Dealers Documents Eats Growers Museums Products Saviours Toons Woods Zoos THIS IS THE PROBLEM The purpose of this web page is to show you the effects of wildlife trafficking it Vietnam, a continuing problem which even now is extinguishing species, and even more important, rendering extinct entire ecosystems. The destruction of Vietnam's natural resources today is at a critical point. I would like this to be a page for the discussion of options rather than the presentation my own views. I do have a point of view, though. I see no purpose in blaming the governments of Vietnam or its neighbours, which have few ways to attack this problem. It is hard to blame poor villagers who need an income to survive. To its credit, Vietnam has put in place laws and directives to curb wildlife exploitation. Vietnam is a signatory of CITES. The international community has responded with some funds for training of customs and forestry staff and for environmental awareness - vital, though not enough for this daunting task. Vietnamese newspapers regularly condemn exploitation. In April 1997, Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet declared a 10 year moratorium on export logging. Even so, the headlong destruction of nature continues. Many shops - government shops among them - display illicit goods and restaurants openly sell 'wild meat'. People in the highlands are exploited for forest products which are traded on by dealers at much higher prices. While corrupt officials are cited in government papers for hunting or dealing, forest protection officers have been killed.
