This survey has been created to gather information from primatologists, researchers, animal advocates and others working in Asia who are likely to come into contact with pet primate keeping in the course of their work.
If this is you, please do take a moment to help by completing the survey, which can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eUUNdn5V
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Pet primates across Asia - your input needed!
If you are an animal advocacy or conservation professional working in Asia, we would like to know which sorts of primates that you believe are kept as pets, legally or illegally, most frequently in the country in which you work.

I started working with captive rescued monkeys in 1999 and went on to earn an MSc in Primate Conservation (Oxford Brookes University) and another in International Animal Welfare Ethics and Law (University of Edinburgh). I've worked for a number of animal welfare organizations, most recently the Animals Asia Foundation and the Asia for Animals Coalition. I've been trustee and director for Neotropical Primate Conservation since its establishment as a UK charity in 2007. I'm particularly interested in the way human and non-human primates relate to one another, and the intersection between conservation and animal welfare. I feel that it's important that these are treated as complimentary, rather than contradictory, concepts. At present I am exploring primate welfare in the context of human-macaque conflict mitigation strategies. Please feel free to contact me here to talk about this if it's of interest to you! I am originally from the US but have lived in the UK for many years.
