    The use of environmental enrichment seeks to offer the animal in captivity conditions that stimulate its natural behavior, through techniques that modify its environment. Based on this, this research aimed to carry out a systematic review on the use of environmental enrichment as a tool to improve the well-being of primates in captivity, describing the types of enrichment, which are more effective and which groups present positive results from the use. of environmental enrichment. A total of 75 articles were evaluated between the years 1988 and 2021. Data were collected in two databases: Web of Science and Scopus, and the following information was extracted: article title, year of publication, place where it was carried out (institution and country), species, genus and family of the primate that received environmental enrichment, type of environmental enrichment applied, subtype of enrichment, the way in which environmental enrichment was employed, effect of environmental enrichment and how it was evaluated (behaviorally and/or physiologically). The results of this research show that in 63.76% of the times when environmental enrichment was applied, the effects were positive. The most used type of enrichment was social, but the one that most achieved positive effects was food enrichment. The most used method to assess these effects was through behavioral measures. Callitrichidae was the family that, proportionally, had the most positive effects on enrichment. And in relation to gender, Eulemur obtained more positive effects. From the results we can conclude that using environmental enrichment actually improves the well-being of primates in captivity, allowing them to perform natural behaviors and improve their well-being. Producing this type of research makes it possible to gather works on the use of enrichment in different zoos, with different families and genders, and to show the most used forms of enrichment, the successes (positive effects) and failures (negative effects). And in this way, build a database to help zoos apply environmental enrichment in their primates.

    The growing maintenance of animal specimensin captivity, kept in zoos and sanctuaries, and in Centers of Wild Animals Screening (CETAS), have raised more and more the necessity of newstudy approaches oncaptive animals, as means to reach a higher understanding about the behavioral biology of each species. As such, interventionist actions in spaces of captivity and the adequation of enrichment actions for the betterment of animals’ welfarebecome preponderant. Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) are animals native to Brasil, which exhibit a varied range of behaviors, both individual and social.At the same time, they are targets of capture fromboth the traffic of wild animals and scientific studies, precisely due to their behavioral variety and apparent inteligence. The Social Network Analysis comes as a tool in the study of social behaviors, becomingan increasingly more commonpracticein researches with primates worldwide. The Parque Estadual deDois Irmãos (PEDI)owns in its animal collectiona group of four individuals of the aforementioned species. As a way to understand the social relations between the individuals and the use of the captivity space by these animals, this project aimed for the statistical analysis of the behaviors of the subjects over space and time. A collection of data fulfilled through the counting of seconds of each activityand its specific place of happeningwas employed for the group analysis. Socially, the animals were evaluated via the production of sociograms, net structures that relate actors inside a group and the relations established between themselves. The chosen methodology was revealing in what concernsthe general aspects of the reproductive colony studied, but it also allowed a visualization of subtle characteristics between the animals and the space occupied by them. The obtaining of diversifieddata allowed for a bigger understanding of the social dynamics involved, and how further actions and researches canbe executed, bringing more pointed results in the analyses that have as aim the betterment of a captive individual’s welfare.
