In a five-month survey, sponsored by the ffPS Oryx 100% Fund, of the distribution and numbers of primates in Bangladesh early in 1980, the authors visited most of the surviving natural forest. Their report shows that wildlife reserves are inadequate, both in quantity and quality, but acknowledges the Government's efforts in the face of great difficulties.
