PRIMATE CONSERVATIONIST LIMELIGHT

In this interview series, it is our pleasure to introduce you to individuals dedicated to preserving species and their habitats, making meaningful change possible. Today, our understanding of the world’s most endangered primates greatly depends on the relentless efforts of those working in the field.

Across the globe—ranging from the lush tropical rainforests of Brazil to the harshest mountainous landscapes in China and everywhere in between—people collaborate daily to observe, listen, document, and share vital information about primates, their ecosystems, and sustainable practices that benefit us all.

The realm of primate conservation is more vibrant and dynamic than ever. With the help of technology, new and precise data about primates and their habitats is shared worldwide in real-time, every single day. Moreover, the field continues to grow, as emerging generations of primatologists, conservationists, and scientists establish their presence globally.
