Resumen:
Threats to biodiversity are well documented. However, to effectively
conserve species and their habitats, we need to know which conservation
interventions do (or do not) work. Evidence-based conservation evaluates
interventions within a scientific framework. The Conservation Evidence
project has summarized thousands of studies testing conservation
interventions and compiled these as synopses for various habitats and
taxa. In the present article, we analyzed the interventions assessed in
the primate synopsis and compared these with other taxa. We found that
despite intensive efforts to study primates and the extensive threats
they face, less than 1% of primate studies evaluated conservation
effectiveness. The studies often lacked quantitative data, failed to
undertake postimplementation monitoring of populations or individuals,
or implemented several interventions at once. Furthermore, the studies
were biased toward specific taxa, geographic regions, and interventions.
We describe barriers for testing primate conservation interventions and
propose actions to improve the conservation evidence base to protect
this endangered and globally important taxon.
