“…During the nearly 40 years I have been involved in muriqui research and conservation efforts, my colleagues and I have witnessed the extinction of one much smaller muriqui population and the near extinction of another (Melo et al 2005;Nogueira et al 2010). However, some small, isolated populations have also benefited from successful management efforts involving the translocation of solitary females, most of which were suspected of having dispersed from their natal groups across a fragmented landscape without finding other muriquis to join (Tabacow et al 2021).…”

“…A third contribution from the PAN Muriquis and its associated protocols has been the sequence of steps taken to insure the persistence of the muriqui population in Ibitipoca, Minas Gerais (#11 on Figure 1). There, episodic censusing demonstrated a small and declining population (Nogueira et al, 2010) and by August 2014 only two adult males remained. At the same time, reports of solitary females from two locales elsewhere in the state had been confirmed, and the decision was made to bring both males and the females into an outdoor enclosure, with access to a 2-ha patch of forest.…”

Long-standing concerns about the status of the world's endangered primates have stimulated significant international efforts, such as the primate action plans published by the Primate Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Species Survival Commission. However, national-level action plans that bring together diverse scientific experts, non-governmental organizations, and governmental agencies to focus on improving the status of endangered species are generally rare. Here, we highlight one such plan published a decade ago, the Brazilian National Action Plan for the Conservation of Muriquis, which promoted the integration of scientific findings about the behavioral ecology, demography, and genetics of northern muriquis with conservation measures supported by the Brazilian government. This plan provided a holistic framework for the development of an effective national strategy that has contributed to significant advances in research and management applied to the conservation of this Critically Endangered species. We hope that this model for muriquis will stimulate conservationists around the world to pursue integrative national-level sponsorship of action plans on behalf of other endangered species.
