Learn About The World's
Fascinating Primates
We make the complex science behind animal protection and wildlife conservation easy to understand. There is no place else that so many primate species are profiled in easy-to-understand, non-scientific, non-academic language. You will discover the relationship between how our primate cousins live, where they live, how their habitats nurture them, and how they, in turn, enrich their ecosystems. You may be surprised by what you’ll learn!
Conservation
Education
Our conservation- and animal protection-themed lessons incorporate project-based formulae that galvanize learning through active engagement in real-world and personally meaningful activities. Students can work independently or in teams. Standards-based, lessons encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, self-management, project management, and collaboration. All can be applied across multiple academic disciplines, whether to enhance instruction in life sciences, geography, media and technology, vocabulary, mathematics, social studies, writing, or just about any other academic subject. Or just enjoy them on your own! Very importantly, the lessons are engaging, with games, graphics, videos, and more. And we offer the lessons for free.
Wildlife
Conservation
The Earth is losing species at an alarming rate, and mostly due to human activities. 70% of primate species are threatened by extinction. 100% are losing habitat to human activities. If they are at risk, so too is every other species that shares their environment. Saving one species saves many, and ultimately saves us all. The bad news/good news is that because these destructive problems are due to human activities, they are reversible, repairable, and preventable. We cannot and should not sit back and wait for someone else to do something. We must and can each be the change that we hope for.
