The 1982 International Zoo Yearbook Volume 22, edited by P.J.S. Olney, P. Ellis, and Benedicte Sommerfelt, provides a comprehensive overview of global zoological park and aquarium management, with a special focus on New World Primates and new developments in the zoo world.
New World Primates
This section includes approximately twenty articles that address the conservation status, ecology, and management of New World primates, many of which face imminent extinction due to habitat destruction.
Field Studies: The volume includes summaries of field studies conducted across various regions, such as the Atlantic Forest region of Eastern Brazil, Peruvian Amazonia, and Surinam, to pinpoint species most in need of protection.
Conservation Strategies: A significant focus is on the merits and demerits of introduction, reintroduction, and translocation of neotropical primates.
Captive Management: The articles also detail the husbandry and propagation of specific species in captivity, including information on managing and breeding Goeldi's monkeys, Golden lion tamarins, and black howler monkeys at various zoos (e.g., London Zoo, Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust).
New Developments in the Zoo World
This section covers various aspects of modern zoo and aquarium management, including successes in captive breeding for diverse species, details on animal husbandry and hand-rearing techniques, and examples of innovative zoo architecture and exhibits.
Reference Section
The yearbook concludes with a comprehensive reference section. It includes a global list of zoos and aquaria, information on new buildings and exhibits, a census of rare animals in captivity during 1981, a list of species bred in 1980, and a list of studbooks and world registers for rare species.
