“…While overhead distribution lines may serve as aerial pathways for individual primates and groups, particularly in areas that are fraught with terrestrial hazards, they also pose a substantial risk of electrocution. Numerous anecdotes and reports attribute primate injuries and deaths to electrocutions (Ampuero and Sá Lilian, 2012;Chetry et al, 2010;Rodrigues and Martinez, 2014;M. Ancrenaz, personal communication, 2017;S.…”

Infrastructure Development and Ape Conservation

Infrastructure development in Africa and Asia is expanding at breakneck speed, largely in biodiversity-rich developing nations. The trend reflects governments' efforts to promote economic growth in response to increasing populations, rising consumption rates and persistent inequalities. Large-scale infrastructure development is regularly touted as a way to meet the growing demand for energy, transport and food-and as a key to poverty alleviation. In practice, however, road networks, hydropower dams and "development corridors" tend to have adverse effects on local populations, natural habitats and biodiversity. Such projects typically weaken the capacity of ecosystems to maintain ecological functions on which wildlife and human communities depend, particularly in the face of climate change.This volume-State of the Apes: Infrastructure Development and Ape Conservationpresents original research and analysis, topical case studies and emerging tools and methods to inform debate, practice and policy with the aim of preventing and mitigating the harmful impacts of infrastructure projects on biodiversity. Using apes as a proxy for wildlife and ecosystems themselves, it identifies opportunities for reconciling economic and social development with environmental stewardship. This title is available as an open access eBook via Cambridge Core and at www.stateof theapes.com.
