In November 1990, an informal meeting of the members of the Primate Specialist Group took place during the 65th Session of the IUCN Species Survival Commission in Perth, Australia. The PSG meeting was chaired by Ardith Eudey, regional coordinator for Asia, in the absence of the PSG Chair, Russell A. Mittermeier. One of the issues discussed during the meeting was the need for greater communication among the PSG members.
Responding to this, Ardith Eudey subsequently began the Asian Primates newsletter, the first of the four PSG newsletters, with number one coming out in June 1991. In the first editorial, Ardith Eudey introduced the newsletter as a vehicle for rapid communication among primatologists and conservationists working with Asian primates. It includes conservation alerts, reports from the field, and profiles of NGOs in habitat countries, along with announcements of meetings, job opportunities and funding programs. The newsletter was seen also as providing a forum for the expression of opinions on pressing issues such as the relative merits of in situ and ex situ conservation.
