The book was published by the Sri Lankan Tourism Promotion Bureau to promote wildlife related tourism in the island. The publication was sponsored by Metropolitan, the agent for Canon in Sri Lanka.

“Sri Lankan primates have an established track record of generating millions of US dollars worth of television coverage,” explained Sri Lankan Tourism Promotion Bureau Managing Director Dileep Mudadeniya.

“In the search for new tools for gaining media coverage we have to think laterally. They offer a good medium through which we can gain access to print and television in these countries Primates is quite popular in developed countries,” he added.

The book divided into two parts discusses the social behavior and ecology of primates and semi technical species accounts on the five species of primates found in Sri Lanka.

It is high time for Sri Lanka to emerge in Eco tourism. Some of the species of primates happens to be subject extinction under critical circumstances of the environment.

The book will urge the community to venture towards wild life conservation. One of the positive outcomes that is from this move is that primate lovers in local and international context would lavish their attention on these endangered species.
