Federal government facilities reported holding 7, 150 primates with 3,000 of these primates held intramurally at NIH, 2, 600 at military laboratories and Veterans Administration hospitals, and 400 at other facilities including the Center for Disease Control. The final 1,150 primates held at the Caribbean Primate Research Center were included with federal facilities.

Pressures from professional organizations and government regulations have converged in attempting to correct the abuses of the past commercial trade in primates. In 1973, the primate specialist group of the IUCN recommended that governments in the source countries should not only restrict exports of wild primates but should also tax exports if necessary to conserve natural populations of laboratory primates and to encourage the development of self-sustaining breeding colonies.

From page 95... ...
Captive breeding has been discussed frequently in terms of production centers for wild-caught breeders, and these overestimate potential net yields from captive colonies. A distinction between production centers and self-sustaining breeding colonies was stressed because it has become unrealistic to assume that there will be a continuing supply of wild-caught breeders available to stock colonies.

The area of established national reserves in tropical countries that meet the UN criteria for listed national parks represents a first approximation of the size of primate populations that will be afforded long-term protection. More government protection is afforded African primates than species on other continents due to the larger size of African reserves.
