Endangered species

This publication aims to give a concise overview of the major natural resource issues facing Zambia. With full colour plates, it provides the non-specialist reader - politician, civil servants, decision maker in business or concerned citizen - with an authoritative synopsis, and is intended to raise the level of awareness of, and commitment to, the rational management and sustainable use of the country's living natural resources.

This volume provides the most comprehensive review available of the conservation status of African primates. Thirty species, comprising over 50% of the primate fauna of the continent, have been identified as threatened, ranging from the little-known Angwantibo to the gorilla and chimpanzee.

The 1984 reprint of this publication has been scanned by the Biodiversity Heritage Library and is available online.
