Primate Conservation

Primate conservation involves protecting primates—our closest animal relatives like monkeys, apes, and lemurs—and their habitats from threats such as habitat destruction, hunting, and illegal pet trade. It aims to ensure these intelligent and vital species survive for ecological balance and biodiversity. Conservation efforts include habitat preservation, legal protection, research, community engagement, and education. Protecting primates also benefits ecosystems, as they play key roles in seed dispersal and forest health. Overall, it’s about safeguarding the future of these remarkable creatures and the environments they inhabit.
