International Macaque Week (IMW), which takes place annually over the first week of May, is a great opportunity for macaque-enthusiastic NGOs and others, including sanctuaries, zoos and educational institutions, to promote awareness of, and empathy for, one of the world’s most heavily persecuted groups of primates, and to let the world know about their work to protect them.

I have some experience with captive gibbons in a rehabilitation centre in Peninsular Malaysia. I am interested in the 4Rs of primate conservation: Research, Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release. I would also like to incorporate the idea of ‘Reforest’ using primates into the 4Rs – making it 4R + 1R.

I have prepared a research proposal for my Master’s study on “hormonal associations of allomaternal care” and I believe these findings can inform primate welfare and management of the rescued orphans (from the pet trade, etc.) by 1) increasing orphans’ survival rates, 2) increasing efficiency in rehab, and 3) increasing success rates post-release.

I am currently looking for a(n) mentorship/advisor to support my proposal and supervise the research.
