Number 2 (2000) Compiled by: Ma Teresa Abello Parc Zoologic de Barcelona Barcelona Espana INTRODUCTION AND COMMENTS This studbook covers the European region for the species below during the year 2000: Sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys atys) White crowned mangabey (Cercocebus atys lunulatus) Cherry-crowned mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus) Some institutions failed to answer the annual questionnaire this year too. It is really a problem not to get updated information from all the institutions and a big difficulty for trying to establish a good coordination and cooperation between us. The captive population of Sooty mangabey is declining and, taking into account the tolerable state of this subspecies in the wild, we wonder if we should start considering the possibility of phasing out its studbook to concentrate all efforts and resources in the other two subspecies. Some analyses are shown at the end of each studbook. CONTENTS 1. Introduction and comments. 2. Status and development of the three species of mangabey during 2000. 3. Actual population by location, analysis and participating institutions for Sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys atys). 4. Actual population by location, analysis and participating institutions for White-crowned mangabey (Cercocebus atys lunulatus). 5. Actual population by location, analysis and participating institutions for Cherry-crowned mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus).
