Abstract excerpt
In the wild, non-human primates may experience population declines resulting from low genetic diversity and inbreeding, while the scientific planning of ecological corridors can assist in population recovery and mitigate genetic diversity loss. The Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is the world's most endangered primate, endemic to Hainan Island in extreme southern China. Recent conservation efforts have...
