Description

<p>The Primate Society of Japan established its primate ethics policy in 1986 as the “Guiding Principles for Animal Experiments Using Non-Human Primates”. In 2013, the “PSJ Guide Lines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Non-Human Primates” was formulated and announced. Subsequently, the development of guidelines for rearing non-human primates for breeding and experimental use advanced, but the formulation of wildlife research guidelines did not proceed at an equal pace. The reason for this is that there are many types of primates, such as apes, cercopithecoids, capuchins, colobuses, and prosimians, and bioethical standards vary according to the target species. The International Primatological Society and the American Society of Primatologists have published the “Code of Best Practices for Field Primatology”. At the Primate Society of Japan, preparations are underway for the publication of the “Ethical Guidelines on Field Studies of Primates”, and the formulation of ethical guidelines by the Mammal Society of Japan is urgently needed.</p>
