IPS 2008 welcomes enquiries, to the Congress Secretariat, from the media, particularly organisations which share our interests in promoting this Congress to a local, national and internation audience. Apart from its core business of faciliating scientific discourse and fostering an international community of primatologists IPS 2008 aims to highlight two key areas: |
|||
The Plight of Primates in the Wild The Congress wishes to highlight the urgent need for conservation funding and action to save the over 40% of primate species that are endangered. There is unprecedented pressure on the continued existance of an increasing number of primate species in the wild as a result of habitat destruction and/or hunting. |
The Welfare of Primates in Captivity Primates are maintained in captivity for a variety of purposes ranging from captive breeding and education through to biomedical research. The Congress will promote the highest welfare standards for the care and maintenance of any primates being held in captivity. |
