大约80-90%的现存非人灵长类物种主要生活在热带雨林环境中（Bourliere，1973;纳皮耶，1962;纳皮耶和纳皮耶，1967; Wolfheim，1983）。在过去的二三十年里，世界热带雨林的破坏一直在以惊人的速度发生。Myers，1984），是迄今为止对全球灵长类动物保护最重要的威胁（Mittermeier和切尼，出版中）。目前，所有热带阔叶林中只有3.6%-4.4%受到法律保护，不受开发（Myers，1984年：46，311; Steinlin，1982年）。如果所有悬而未决的土地预留建议最终得到实施，这一数字将增加到7%（Mabberley，1983年）。然而，受保护的雨林面积不可能超过目前世界总面积的9%（沃兹沃斯在1984年Hartshorn中引用）。鉴于热带雨林生物区系的高度多样化和特有性，显然，仅在保留的土地范围内很难确保对雨林灵长类动物的保护（例如Rylands，1985年）。
Approximately 80–90% of all extant nonhuman primate species occur primarily in tropical rainforest environments (Bourliere, 1973; Napier, 1962; Napier and Napier, 1967; Wolfheim, 1983). Destruction of the world’s tropical rainforests has been occurring at an alarming rate over the past two to three decades (cf. Myers, 1984) and is by far the most important threat to global primate conservation (Mittermeier and Cheney, in press). Currently, only 3.6–4.4% of all tropical broadleaf forests are legally protected from exploitation (Myers, 1984:46,311; Steinlin, 1982). This figure will increase to 7% if all pending land set-aside proposals are ultimately implemented (Mabberley, 1983). It is unlikely, however, that the area of protected rainforest will ever exceed 9% of the world’s presently existing total (Wadsworth cited in Hartshorn, 1984). Given the high degree of diversification and endemicity typical of tropical rainforest biota, it is clear that the conservation of rainforest primates will be difficult to ensure solely within the confines of land set-asides (e.g. Rylands, 1985).
