Primates of Bangladesh: a Preliminary Survey of Population and Habitat

چکیده
The distribution and abundance of non-human primates in Bangladesh is presented. Roadside and forest surveys were conducted throughout the alluvial floodplains and hill regions ofSylhet, Chittagong, and Cox's Bazar. In forests, walking and vehicle transects were used to census primates. The ecology and status of major habitat types are discussed. Forest primate populations are evaluated according to habitat classification. I estimate a minimum o/140,000 non-human primates in Bangladesh. Factors contributing to this low population are discussed.
