Conserving social-ecological systems in Indonesia: human-nonhuman primate interconnections in Bali and Sulawesi.

摘要: An important question asked by primatologists and conservationists alike is: what is the relevance of primates primate conservation for ecosystem conservation? The goal this article to contribute dialogue advocating use a research perspective that focuses on dynamics human-nonhuman sympatry interaction (i.e., ethnoprimatology) in order better understand complex social-ecological systems inform their management. This perspective/approach based largely recognition human are components all ecological niche construction fundamental feature adaptive success. To demonstrate interface conservation, we provide examples from our two islands Indonesian archipelago: Bali Sulawesi. In Bali, humans long-tail macaques coexist system creates favorable environments macaques. anthropogenic landscape economic relationships between monkeys insight into sustainable human/nonhuman coexistence.
