About Brooke Aldrich

I'm also a long-term Trustee and Director of Neotropical Primate Conservation. 

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.

Hello there! I'm not sure that it's formal enough to warrant participation certificates - it's more of a collective effort for those organizations and individuals who advocate for macaques, their conservation and their welfare to really highlight their work and why they do it. Do you see it differently? I'd be interested to know more!

Yes, the more the merrier! Selamatkan Yaki is welcome. We've been speaking to @Ziva Justinek about this, who can hopefully pass on any/all details to Reyni and Yunita! :)
