Asian Primates Newsletter
In
November 1990, an informal meeting of the members of the Primate
Specialist Group took place during the 65th Session of the IUCN Species
Survival Commission in Perth, Australia. The PSG meeting was chaired by
Ardith Eudey, regional coordinator for Asia, in the absence of the PSG
Chair, Russell A. Mittermeier. One of the issues discussed during the
meeting was the need for greater communication among the PSG members.
Responding
to this, Ardith Eudey subsequently began the Asian Primates newsletter,
the first of the four PSG newsletters, with number one coming out in
June 1991. In the first editorial, Ardith Eudey introduced the
newsletter as a vehicle for rapid communication among primatologists
and conservationists working with Asian primates. It includes
conservation alerts, reports from the field, and profiles of NGOs in
habitat countries, along with announcements of meetings, job
opportunities and funding programs. The newsletter was seen also as
providing a forum for the expression of opinions on pressing issues
such as the relative merits of in situ and ex situ conservation.
