Group Travel for U.S. Participants in the 12th Congress of the International Primatological Society; Brasilia, Brazil; July 24-29, 1988

这一行动是为了支持参加国际灵长类学会会议的美国与会者的旅行。这些会议的总主题很重要，因为保护濒危物种和使用灵长类作为生物医学模型是重要的科学和伦理问题。要涵盖的主题清单包括系统学家、生态学家、生理学家、行为学家和进化生物学家感兴趣的广泛领域。由于现在是了解灵长类种群如何受到栖息地退化影响的关键时刻，通过增加科学实验，这些类型的会议极其重要。

This action is to support the travel of U.S. participants who are to attend the International Primatological Society Meetings. The general subject matter of these meetings is important in that the conservation of endangered species and the use of primates as biomedical models are important scientific and ethical issues. The list of topics to be covered includes a wide variety of fields of interests to systematists, ecologists, physiologists, behaviorists, and evolutionary biologists. Because this is a critical time for understanding how primate populations are being affected by habitat degradation and by increasing scientific experimentation these types of meetings are extremely important.
