Individuals from the local community will be trained as technicians to survey primate demography and forest condition. Data from the surveys will be used to determine factors that influence primate population abundance and distribution, to assess the population viability, and to determine management measures needed to enhance conservation. Education and awareness creation seminars and workshops will be conducted in villages throughout the study area. These will be geared towards building local support for conservation.
