The primary objective of this proposal is to investigate the potential for establishing primate research sites in the vicinity of Georgetown, Guyana. Guyana is a promising country for long-term primate research as the forests are still relatively unaffected by human activity and the government is amenable to their protection. Additionally eight species of New World monkey are found in the country. The researchers will conduct a survey of two regions in order to determine the number of species present, their densities and distribution. If either of the regions is appropriate for long term research, the investigators will undertake to carry out an extensive study of the synecology of the the primates.

该提案的主要目标是调查在圭亚那乔治敦附近建立灵长类动物研究地点的潜力。 圭亚那是长期灵长类动物研究的一个有前途的国家，因为森林仍然相对不受人类活动的影响，而且政府愿意保护森林。 该国还发现了八种新世界猴。 研究人员将对两个地区进行调查，以确定存在的物种数量、密度和分布。 如果其中任何一个区域适合进行长期研究，研究人员将着手对灵长类动物的联系学进行广泛的研究。
