Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dr. Marc van
Roosmalen (born 24 July 1947, Tilburg) is a Brazilian primatologist of
Dutch birth living in Manaus in Brazil. He was elected as one of the
„Heroes of the Planet“ by Time Magazine in 2000. His research has led to
the identification of several new monkey species, as well as other
animals and plants, although some of these identifications are
challenged as dubious, unconvincing, or contradictory to the evidence.
He is also an activist in the protection of the Brazilian rainforest.
Van Roosmalen was awarded the honour of Officer in the order of the
Golden Arch by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in 1997.
