Ah ha ! So the kaapori and the blonde capuchin are being seen as options !

Thats great !

I don't think either of those species are currently held by anywhere at the moment though, right ?

No problem, the full document is on the EAZA website but it's 269 pages long. Il pop a post on here later for anyone who's interested but you might find the whole document interesting. There's also gorilla, orangutan, bonobo, and around 35 others download able to the public.

Could you post the link here, I'll definitely check it out.

All the documents are linked here. Let me know how you get on. Lists everything from population management to on some circumstances zoo by zoo experiences of mixed species enclosures.

So you are referring to the document of the best practice guidelines that Dominic Wormell and Eric Ruivo coauthored right ?

I've read this several times before but didn't see anything about the phasing out of certain species.

Pages 28 to 73 are species by species. Under regional collection plan it states of they are esb, eep, do not obtain, replace (phase out), Tag monitoring or potential to obtain.

Its a very interesting document, all of them are on their.

Oh yes, I see it now, somehow I had missed that before and I've flicked through this a number of times but mainly on the husbandry pages.

I do think there are a number of Callitrichid species that are overepresented in collections and that these could be phased out in favour of replacement with species that do need to be there.
 
Towars the top of the page on the EAZA link there is also an updates list of ex-situ breeding programs with holder sites and Co-ordinator listed. It's great to see some zoos and people really getting stuck in.
 
I've seen Golden-bellied capuchins at two dutch zoos, Apenheul and AquaZoo Leeuwarden. I think Capuchins in general are a very active species which i realy like at zoos.

The photos earlier in this thread of the enclosure of the Golden-bellied capuchins at Apenheul is their former enclosure. They are now in the former enclosure of the Colombian white-faced capuchin.

AquaZoo Leeuwarden got their Golden-bellied capuchins in 2016. They house a bachelor group of 5 males. At first they tried to keep them together with the Giant otters, but the species had to much interest in eachother. They are now at the former Peruvian squirrel monkey island. I will see if i got some pictures of it.

Yes, totally agree, I think its great all the work going on in zoos with ex-situ breeding programes which isn't to say that it can't be improved upon though, there are always opportunities for improvement afterall.

Thanks for the comment @MennoPebesma !

That is an excellent looking enclosure for the golden bellied capuchins at Apenheul !

Regarding the AquaZoo Leeuwarden mixed-species exhibit, that doesn't sound like too great a mix IMO, these species don't even occur in the same habitat naturally anyway and too much potential for agonistic behaviour.
