American Society of Primatologists

The American Society of Primatologists (ASP) is a scientific organization dedicated to the study, conservation, and ethical treatment of primates—our closest relatives like monkeys, apes, and lemurs. Its members include researchers, conservationists, and educators who share knowledge, promote responsible research, and advocate for primate welfare. The ASP also supports education and policies to protect wild and captive primates, fostering collaboration among scientists and the public to better understand these animals and ensure their long-term survival.
