Our paper on primate conservation education programs is here! Rahayu Oktaviani Allison McNamara Dian Fossey 🇷🇼🇺🇸🦍 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

One lesson: ...current & future PCEPs should acknowledge that the main issue is global consumerism & not the livelihoods of the humans who have lived near primate habitats for generations...many primatologists can focus on education in our own communities and make a bigger impact

"Often action & activism take the form of wanting to educate local communities (from a Global North perspective).. local communities have a wealth of... cultural & ecological knowledge.. projects must aim to work with communities to identify needs&opportunities for collaboration"

It is nice to be trusted as an expert
