“…in 11 yr for 10 groups; Cristóbal-Azkarate et al 2017) Furthermore, the birth rate observed for the translocated population (0.51 ± 0.32 yr −1 ) is consistent with other reports for the species (0.36−0.52 in Cristóbal-Azkarate et al 2017;~0.5 in Carrera-Sánchez et al 2003;0.62 in Cortés-Ortiz et al 1994). A positive birth rate can indicate that the translocated howler monkeys have adapted properly to their release site and probably are in good nutritional condition (Rossi & dos Santos 2018). Also, the translocated focal group increased its activity area over time (Year 1: 5.5 ha; Year 6: 12 ha), with the last value reported (92 ha in 2018; Maya-Lastra 2018) being similar to non-translocated populations of howlers in conserved forests (Table 1).…”

Translocation is increasingly being used as a conservation tool in wildlife management, but long-term assessments of the animals’ establishment in the new habitat are rarely done. In addition, finding protected areas for translocations can often be a limitation, but habitat patches managed for productive purposes could potentially be used for translocations. Here, we present a translocation case study of the Endangered Mexican howler monkey Alouatta palliata mexicana into a forest fragment managed as an agroforest in the Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve (Mexico). We compared the behavior of the translocated focal group 6 yr after translocation with that observed 1 yr after translocation (Year 1 vs. Year 6), and with reference parameters for conserved forest. We also examined the 14 yr trajectory of the translocated population through published data. We found that in Year 6, monkeys spent less time on locomotion and more time consuming fruit than in Year 1. The focal group in Year 6 had doubled its activity area compared to Year 1. All behavioral parameters during Year 6 were similar to those reported for the species in conserved forest. During the first 14 yr, the translocated population increased at a rate of 1.29 ind. yr-1. We conclude that this translocation succeeded in establishing a thriving population and that certain agroforestry systems may be adequate habitat for primate translocations. We also discuss how the translocation of howler monkeys into defaunated habitats might help restore ecological functions associated with these primates, such as the dispersal of large-seeded plants. Long-term information on successful primate translocations has high practical value for designing adequate conservation strategies in anthropogenic landscapes.

“…As interações sociais, quando bem-sucedidas, são afiliativas e/ou sexuais e todos os indivíduos continuam tendo acesso a alimentação e água normalmente. Este processo pode ser denominado "Familiarização" (Rossi, 2008;Rossi e Santos, 2018). É importante oferecer vários pontos de alimentação no recinto considerando a quantidade de animais ali alojados para evitar o monopólio de um indivíduo dominante sobre os demais.…”

A manutenção de primatas em cativeiro exige a utilização de técnicas de manejo exequíveis e que assegurem o bem-estar de animais que se encontram em ambiente restrito e alterado. Neste trabalho apresentamos um protocolo de manejo de bugios desenvolvido no Centro de Pesquisas Biológicas de Indaial, CEPESBI, localizado em Indaial, Santa Catarina, Brasil, cuja principal atividade é o Projeto Bugio, criado em 1991 com o objetivo principal de manejo e conservação de bugios-ruivos (Alouatta guariba). O protocolo foi elaborado com base em estudos de comportamento de bugios-ruivos em vida livre ao longo dos 31 anos de existência do Projeto Bugio, levando em consideração a biossegurança, aspectos nutricionais, comportamentais, fisiológicos e as condições de saúde dos animais ao longo dos anos de manejo no CEPESBI/Projeto Bugio. Para a avaliação da eficácia do protocolo utilizou-se o tempo de sobrevivência dos bugios que viveram, sendo considerado que, quanto maior o tempo de sobrevivência dos bugios no Centro, melhor adaptado estava o protocolo ao manejo destes animais. No nosso protocolo, os bugios mantidos nos cativeiros no CEPESBI/Projeto Bugio apresentaram um tempo de sobrevida entre 15 e 20 anos, período similar ao descrito para a espécie em vida livre. A partir do compartilhamento deste protocolo de manejo de bugios-ruivos almejamos que este possa ser utilizado ou adaptado às diferentes realidades dos centros de manutenção destes animais ex situ.

“…( 21 ), but to the authors' knowledge no studies on ultrasonography of fetal development have been published in Alouatta . Additionally, ex- situ facilities are uniquely positioned to study topics like nutrition, microbiome, stress, contraception, and their effects on reproductive potential, and because some reproductive parameters have been published for A. caraya, A. palliata and A. seniculus ( 25 – 27 ) and few other species of howler monkeys, conservation efforts would benefit greatly from addressing those gaps.…”

Howler monkeys (Alouatta spp.) are threatened by anthropogenic pressures such as habitat fragmentation and deforestation, while conservation efforts are challenging to coordinate as natural geographic distribution ranges are the largest of any New World primate. On a One Health front, howler monkeys represent a great model to investigate the infectious disease dynamics between wild primates and humans as several infectious diseases affecting howlers have a demonstrated zoonotic potential. Howler monkey populations in professional care offer a window to investigate susceptibility to diseases in this species such as yellow fever (YF) and malaria, plus a myriad of endoparasite phyla, as well as vector-borne diseases such as Chagas disease and leishmaniasis. More studies are urgently needed to provide species-specific, medically relevant information as well as clinical descriptions of animals considered medically healthy. Moreover, howler monkeys are a challenging species to breed and maintain in professional care; additionally, reproductive parameters have been published only for a handful of species in this genus. On a One Health approach communication and collaborative health surveillance involving wildlife and zoo experts will ease the identification of factors that contribute to disease emergence facilitating the integration of human, animal, and environmental health. The One Welfare concept is based on the inextricable connection among animal welfare, human welfare, and environmental conservation. Integrating One Health and One Welfare into actions both in-situ and ex-situ will promote the sustainability of the forests and restoration of the ecosystems that those species inhabit, transitioning to a comprehensive One Conservation approach.
