From June to July 2018, the present study was carried out, the objective of which was to know the diversity, density and conservation status of primates in the upper basins of the Napo and Curaray rivers. The data were recorded by linear transect censuses. In the Napo basin (zone I) and Curaray (zone II), eight species were registered, respectively, and in the Curaray (zone III) seven. The highest population densities corresponded to Lagothrix lagotricha lagotricha (37.97 ind./km2), Lagothrix lagotricha poeppigii (27.82 ind./km2) and Saguinus tripartitus (17.18 ind./ km2), and the lowest belonged to Cebuella pygmaea pygmaea (0.20 ind./km2), Alouatta seniculus (0.10 ind./km2) and Cheracebus lucifer (0.07 ind./km2). According to Supreme Decree N° 004-2014-MINAGRI, six of the thirteen species are in the categories of Vulnerable and Endangered, according to the IUCN the thirteen species are in five categories of threat and with respect to CITES all species are in Appendix II. In conclusion, the results of this research show a great diversity of primates, with healthy populations, where the categories of threat for some species justify the expansion of the Airo Pai Communal Reserve in order to conserve this and other groups of mammals.
