Mapping Crop-Raiding Hotspots and Predicting Actual Crop-Raiding Risk Using a Spatial (GIS) Model for Alleviating People-Primate Conflict in Nepal

The project aims at identifying key drivers of primate crop-raiding incidences, mapping crop-raiding hotspots and predicting crop-raiding risk based on multiple GIS models in Nepal.

Population Survey and Conservation Status Assessment of the Western Black Crested Gibbon in Xilong Mountain

This project aimed to confirm population size of the western black crested gibbons and to formulate cross-border conservation actions.

Identifying Drivers of Primate Occupancy Patterns in a Fragmented Forest Landscape of Garo Hills, India, for Efficient Conservation Planning

The aim of the project is to determine the influence of factors of conservation relevance, such as fragment size, shape, isolation and surrounding matrix on primate occupancy in community-owned forest fragments.

Survey for Population Status of Nigeria-Cameroon Chimpanzee and Habitat Threat Assessment in the Oban Hills of Cross River National Park, Cross River, Nigeria

The project aims to provide baseline information on Nigerian-Cameroon chimpanzees in the Oban Hills and raise awareness of the much neglected Oban Hills area of Cross River National Park and the endangered chimpanzee.

Assessment of Chimpanzees and Other Endangered Primates Populations and Enhancement of High Conservation Values in Sui Forest Reserve, Ghana

The project aims to contribute to the conservation and long-term survival of chimpanzees and other primate populations in the Upper Guinea forest zone.

Population and Habitat Viability Analysis for the Pig-tailed Langur (Simias Concolor) in the Mentawai Archipelago – Phase 2 (Primate Surveys)

By carrying out a series of systematic primate surveys in the area, this project aims to provide the first reliable estimates of density and abundance of the Simias concolor population within Siberut National Park.

Primates as Process Facilitators in the Regeneration of Native Vegetation in Anthropogenic Landscapes

This study aims to assess the ecology and behaviour of black howler monkeys that inhabit shaded cocoa plantations and to determine the role these primates play in plant regeneration.

Survey for Leaf Monkeys and Gibbons in Gia Lai Province, Vietnam

The project aims to : - To confirm the distribution of primates focusing on endangered leaf monkeys and gibbons in Gia Lai Province of Vietnam’s Central Highlands - To estimates on the population size of these taxa in each survey area and threats assessment in each location.

Marike Ecotourism Development Initiative (MEDI)

The aim of the project is to build the capacity of the Marike community to develop an effective and ethical interpretive ecotourism venture, in order to support and promote the conservation of Sumatran orangutans and their forest home.

Population Survey and Conservation of Two Little-Known Primates, Macaca Munzala and Nycticebus

Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India is listed among the 200 globally important ecoregions, yet much of its wildlife remains relatively unexplored. The objectives of our study are to conduct population surveys for two virtually unknown primate species that are found there – the nocturnal Bengal slow loris Nycticebus bengalensis and the newly discovered Arunachal macaque Macaca munzala - in order to estimate their abundances and evaluate conservation threats affecting their survival in Arunachal Pradesh.
