Resumen:
Our idea with this volume was to compile a series of chapters that partially describes the situation of primatology in Argentina. It is clear that although, Argentinean researchers are producing good information we still lack the intensification of studies in non-protected areas, most of our National Parks and with some species such as Cebus paraguayanus or Sapajus cay. Habitat degradation is a reality in northern Argentina. In this regard we need as a group (possibly through the Asociacion de Primatologia Argentina ?APRIMA) to evaluate these threats that may impede future primatological research and to advice on how scientific research can contribute to conservation, especially with regard to determining specific habitat requirement. We hope that the increase in research being carried out on wild populations of non-human primates in Argentina will continue in future years.
