The region of northeast India supports many important primate species that live in this biodiversity hotspot. The ongoing destruction of primate habitats along with animal hunting and rising human activities puts most primate numbers at high risk. Ethnoprimatology reveals both cultural perceptions about protecting primates through research that analyzes how people and primates interact. This research reviews all available studies on Ethnoprimatology in Northeast India to show how local beliefs and practices help save primates. This research examines how social customs impact monkey protection, especially through local communities' spiritual practices that include primate rituals. Sacred groves and community-protected areas help protect habitats, while specific taboos stop people from hunting primates. The evaluation examines harmful traditional practices that harm primates and recommends culturally appropriate ways to reduce these threats. Our study explains why it is hard to use indigenous knowledge today in conservation programs because of legal problems and changes in society, plus missing information about past practices. Research shows that new conservation rules should let local people take part in conservation projects and must protect native rights. It supports eco-tourism and community-led efforts as well as educational programming, which create lasting possibilities to save primates. This evaluation shows the path to creating ecological protection methods that match local values through the connection of old nature wisdom and scientific research. Understanding human and primate relations in Northeast India lets us create conservation efforts that work well for the environment and residents.
