Each of them faces various threats in terms of conservation and conflicts that hamper their ability to coexist with human populations. We present here some of the drivers known to be the causes of conflicts between humans and primates in the southernmost area of distribution of Latin American primates. We focus our synthesis on two of the biggest sources of conflict: the effects of different anthropogenic disturbances, and human misconceptions concerning the role of primates in the ecosystem. In each section, we briefly characterize the conflicts worldwide and then provide specific cases and examples from Argentina. In the last part of the manuscript, we further describe some ongoing national and rAnimals : an open access journal from MDPI3331https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10648367biostudies-literatureHuman and Non-Human Primate Coexistence in Argentina: Conflicts and Solutions.PMC10648367Oklander LIFernandez-Duque EKowalewski MMGarcia de la Chica AfalseHuman and Non-Human Primate Coexistence in Argentina: Conflicts and Solutions.There are five different primate species inhabiting widely distinct ecoregions in Argentina.
