The challenges of primate research and conservation in Paraguay
The primate fauna of Paraguay consists of just five species (Sapajus cay, Alouatta caraya, Aotus azarae, Plecturocebus pallescens and Mico melanurus) and has been largely overlooked by the international primatological community. Notwithstanding, Paraguay currently has the second highest deforestatio...

| description | The primate fauna of Paraguay consists of just five species (Sapajus cay, Alouatta caraya, Aotus azarae, Plecturocebus pallescens and Mico melanurus) and has been largely overlooked by the international primatological community. Notwithstanding, Paraguay currently has the second highest deforestation rate in Latin America and the threats facing Paraguayan primates are as severe as anywhere else on the continent. Primate conservation in Paraguay is complicated by the complete absence of a homegrown primatological research community and the country lacks the solid biological research foundation required for the development of robust management strategies. Only one university degree in biology is available in the country (with the Universidad Nacional de Asunción), and opportunities for postgraduate education in biological sciences require studying abroad, whilst the limited number of career opportunities upon graduation mean that those receiving such training frequently prefer to pursue their career elsewhere rather than return to the country to practice. No higher education courses in primatology are currently available in Paraguay. Fundación Para La Tierra (PLT) is a Paraguayan conservation and education NGO (80086144-2), founded in 2010. PLT focuses on conservation of Paraguay’s natural habitats through scientific research, community engagement and education, and implements Paraguay’s only long-term primatology research projects: the “Hooded Capuchin Project” conserving Sapajus cay in what little remains of the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest and the “Urban Howler Monkey Project” researching the behavioural ecology of Alouatta caraya inhabiting the city of Pilar. The PLT primate projects adopt a multi-faceted approach: long-term scientific research, training and supporting local people with an interest in primates, supervision of international students and environmental education in schools. In this article we will discuss the challenges of developing such a project, and a vision for the future of primatology in Paraguay. |

No obstante, Paraguay tiene actualmente la segunda tasa de deforestación más alta de América Latina y las amenazas que enfrentan los primates paraguayos son tan graves como en cualquier otro lugar del continente. La conservación de primates en Paraguay se complica por la ausencia total de una comunidad de investigación primatológica local y el país carece de la base sólida de investigación biológica requerida para el desarrollo de estrategias de gestión efectivos. En el país existe solo un título de grado universitario en biología (con la Universidad Nacional de Asunción), y las oportunidades de educación de posgrado en ciencias biológicas requieren estudiar en el extranjero, mientras que el número limitado de oportunidades de carrera al graduarse significa que quienes reciben dicha formación con frecuencia prefieren seguir sus carreras en otros lugares en lugar de regresar al país para ejercer. Actualmente no hay cursos de educación superior en primatología disponibles en Paraguay. Fundación Para La Tierra (PLT) es una ONG de educación y conservación paraguaya (80086144-2), fundada en 2010. PLT se enfoca en la conservación de los hábitats naturales de Paraguay a través de la investigación científica, la participación comunitaria y la educación, e implementa los únicos trabajos de investigación de campo en primatología a largo plazo en el país: el “Proyecto Capuchino Encapuchado” que busca conservar el Sapajus cay en lo poco que queda del Bosque Atlántico del Alto Paraná y el “Proyecto Mono Aullador Urbano” que investiga la ecología del comportamiento de las poblaciones de Alouatta caraya que habitan en la ciudad de Pilar. Los proyectos de primates de PLT adoptan un enfoque multifacético: investigación científica a largo plazo, capacitación y apoyo a la población local interesada en los primates, supervisión de estudiantes internacionales y educación ambiental en las escuelas. En este artículo discutiremos los desafíos enfrentados en desarrollar un proyecto de esta clase en Paraguay y una visión para el futuro de la primatología en el país.Ka’ikuera Paraguai pegua oī po laja (Sapajus cay, Alouatta caraya, Aotus azarae, Plecturocebus pallescens ha Mico melanurus) ha tetã okaragua oheja tapy kuepe tekombo’e ka’ikuera Paraguai pegua.
