课程名称：灵长类动物保护 课程概述：我们正面临灵长类动物（以及许多其他生命形式）潜在的灭绝危机。在本课程中，我们将学习全球针对灵长类动物保护的威胁。我们将以Schwitzer等人（2019）的《濒危灵长类动物：世界上25种最濒危的灵长类动物2018-2020》为基础，讨论全球灵长类动物种群的状况。我们将调查保护状态、面临的威胁以及在保护我们最亲近的进化亲属方面的成功与失败。 课程大纲： 1. **保护与保护问题导论** - 在第一模块中，教师将自我介绍并开始定义灵长目。许多人对“猴子”有一种“喜爱”，但并不真正了解灵长目的多样性！本模块从灵长类动物的定义开始，展示当前灵长类动物的分布。 2. **如何定义威胁** - 本模块将介绍国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）、IUCN红色名录及物种如何被分类为威胁类别。我们还将讨论全球灵长类动物面临的不同类型的威胁。 3. **探索各地区的灵长类动物** - 本模块将聚焦于25种最濒危灵长类动物名单。我们将逐个地区学习这些灵长类动物及其面临的灭绝威胁。 4. **保护组织** - 本模块将讨论多个背景下的保护组织。我们将学习“原位”（in situ）和“外位”（ex situ）保护方法，并关注一些保护组织，思考公众可以参与的方式。 5. **案例研究：越南** - 越南是灵长类动物多样性极为丰富的国家，当前生活着25种灵长类动物及其亚种（Covert et al., 2017）。在本模块中，我们将讨论灵长类动物的多样性、保护威胁及帮助保护这些动物（及其生态环境）的组织。 通过本课程的学习，学员将能够更深入地了解灵长类动物的保护现状与挑战，从而更好地参与到保护工作中。
Name:Introduction to Conservation & Conservation Concerns
Description:In the first module, I will introduce myself and begin defining the Order Primates. Many people have a ‘love’ of ‘monkeys’ without really understanding how incredibly diverse our Order is! This module starts with a definition of primates and then shows where the current radiation of primates still live.
Name:How We Define Threats
Description:This module will begin by introducing the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature), the IUCN RedList, and how species are designated in threat categories. We will also discuss different types of threats to primates globally.
Name:Exploring Primates throughout Various Regions
Description:In this module, we will focus on the Top 25 Most Endangered Primates list. We will go region to region to learn about the primates and the threats they face toward the possibility of extinction.
Name:Conservation Organizations
Description:This module will address conservation organizations in multiple contexts. We will learn about 'in situ' and 'ex situ' conservation methodology. Finally, we will look at a number of conservation organizations and think about ways that the public can get involved.
Name:Case Study: Vietnam
Description:Vietnam is home to an incredible diversity of primates. There are currently 25 species and subspecies living in this tropical country (Covert et al., 2017). In this module, we will discuss the diversity of primates, threats to conservation, and the groups that are helping to conserve these animals (and landscapes!).
We are presently facing a potential extinction crisis for the order Primates (and many other life forms). In this course we will learn about threats to primate conservation globally. We will be using the, “Primates in Peril: The World’s 25 Most Endangered Primates 2018-2020” by Schwitzer et al. (2019) as a basis for the discussion of global primate populations. We will investigate conservation status, threats to conservations, success and failures within protecting our closest evolutionary cousins.
