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.

Hi James, thanks for sharing this here! Have you considered contacting the AfA Social Media Animal Cruelty Coaltion (SMACC) to chat about this? SMACC is a coalition of animal advocacy organizations that focuses specifically on these issues. I don't think that SMACC's lead coordinator Nicola is a member of WildHug but I've asked her to have a look - I'm sure that they'd be interested in chatting.
(now I am suspecting that SPACC might have been a typo for SMACC - as WildHug was a type for WildHub in my reply hahaha)

Oh that's great to know! Glad you've already chatted. @Thirza Loffeld thanks for bringing this to my attention, while it's obviously macaque-related I always pass social media-related macaque things to my SMACC colleagues because social media animal cruelty is such a specific issue!

Thank you for sharing this here.
I hope there would be a certificate of participation for this 🤔.
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!
@Reyni Tresia Palohoen and @Yunita Siwi : perhaps of interest to you and the Selematkan Yaki team? Feel free to spread the word in your (macaque) networks!
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! :)
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing, Robin!
Perhaps of interest to you /to share with your networks @Sabrina Brando, @Craig Grant , @Silver James , @abbie parker @Jenny Desmond and @Brooke Aldrich ?
Thanks Thirza, I will share this with Elliot, the coordinator of our Sanctuaries and Rescue Centers Coalition! I'll also suggest he joins WildHub.
