This study aimed to assess the population status of primates using the local ecological knowledge (LEK) of hunters in the Putumayo and Marañón river basins between 2018 and 2022. The database provided by the Institute of Amazonian Research of Peru, on cultural consensus interviews with hunters, was used to understand the perception of abundance. Responses ranged from 0 to 3, indicating values from absent to abundant, respectively. The results indicated that the most abundant species in the Putumayo basin were Saimiri cassiquiarensis (3.00), Alouatta seniculus (2.88), Cebus albifrons (2.81), Cebus apella (2.61), Lagothrix lagotricha (2.60), Pithecia hirsuta (2.47), and Leontocebus nigricollis (2.39). In the Marañón basin, the most abundant species were Saimiri cassiquiarensis (2.99) and Leontocebus lagonotus (2.50). The species Callimico goeldii is perceived to be at greater risk of threat in some communities of the Putumayo basin. It is concluded that the Putumayo basin shows a greater abundance of indicator primate species, evidencing a better conservation status compared to the Marañón basin. In this way, this study demonstrates that hunters’ local ecological knowledge (LEK) can effectively estimate the relative abundance of primates and the regional conservation status.
