Abstract
First paragraph: Let's start with the contested term “Anthropocene”: contested because of its association with overzealous rewilding schemes, deprioritizing of intact ecosystems, potentially enabling the use of “degraded” environments, and creating public pessimism. Or not—let's just explore 294 pages of catastrophes in primate conservation.
