Gursky's spectral tarsiers (Tarsius spectrumgurskyae) are photographed on their nest tree, as they are visible in broad daylight, an anomaly of this nocturnal primate living in the rainforest of Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Around 1, 660 individuals of this species live in Batuputih Nature Tourism Park—close to the nature reserve, where they are one of the main tourism attractions, according to Arrijani (Department of Biology Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Manado) and Muhammad Rizki (Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Palangka Raya) in their paper first published on Biodiversitas (Feb 2020). However, another team led by Sharon L. Gursky warned in their 2022 paper that spectral tarsier is facing a real threat caused by ecotourism. "Even when wildlife viewing is carried out exclusively by qualified and trained guides, tourism led to substantial changes in behavior of the viewed tarsiers, " they wrote. Details are given by another team of scientists led by Dominique A. Bertrand in their 2023 paper, who wrote that human activities in wildlife habitat, including ecotourism, could bring negative impacts, such as "increased pollution, disruption of daily wildlife routines and social behavior, increased risk of disease transmission, and indications of increased stress in wildlife."_Therefore, primate conservation is a behavioural challenge and as such requires behaviourally informed solutions, added a team of scientists led by Harry Hilser in their 2023 paper published by International Journal of Primatology. It also needs, they wrote, "A holistic strategy of education, capacity building, and community-based conservation draws upon a blend of insights from multiple social scientific disciplines alongside direct research with communities in the area exploring their cultural histories, behavioural drivers, and relationships with nature."
