in order to promote the conservation of primates in Argentina it is important to do the following. 1. Sustain the long-term sites that already exist. The research conducted in them provides unique and important data that allow us to develop management and conservation strategies for the different primate species. 2. Finish and implement the National Plan for the conservation of primates in Argentina. 3. Promote the establishment of study sites for S. paraguayanus, A. guariba clamitans, and A. caraya in protected areas plus S. nigritus in unprotected areas. 4. Develop studies on genetic variability of several Populations. These studies will allow us to define priority areas for establishingconservation units applicable to all primates in Argentina.
