Neotropical Primate Conservation (NPC)
@neoprimate.bsky.social
Dedicated to the conservation of primates and their habitats in South and Central America, we work with communities, conduct research, fight wildlife trafficking, promote conservation and protect biodiversity, primarily in Peru, Colombia and Argentina.
A San Martin titi monkey (𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦), a species endemic to San Martín, Peru, and Critically Endangered, was recently found injured on a road. The person who found it alerted the Regional Environmental Authority (ARA), who came to its rescue.
It is the rare academic article with images that alone convey a conclusion. "Increasing Food Provisioning and Habituation Threaten the Endangered Lion-Tailed Macaque" (November 2024 Primate Conservation @peopleprimate.bsky.social) shows why you should never feed the monkeys. #primates
🦉 Wild birds in the city: a call for responsible coexistence Two recent rescue cases in Moyobamba should remind us all of the importance of living responsibly with the wildlife that surrounds us. #Peru #Neoprimate #NeotropicalPrimateConservation #Conservation #IPPL
NPC & the Regional Environmental Authority of San Martin recently rescued & released a pygmy anteater (Cyclopes didactylus), thanks to a report from the public. Every effort counts to conserve the biodiversity that surrounds us. 🌿 #Peru #Neoprimate #NeotropicalPrimateConservation #Conservation
There's another, very good list of primate people that I did not know about when I made this. There's some crossover but there will be differences too! Check out this starter pack and please do send your suggestions for additions to the list! #primates #primatewelfare #dvocacy #conservation
Now that @nature.com has joined us, here’s a #ThrowbackThursday to our study on wild capuchins deliberately breaking stones and making flakes. I got lucky filming this activity, when I stayed behind while my team climbed a sandstone plateau. The monkeys turned up, and the rest is (pre)history 🧪🐒🏺

Blog @AsiaforAnimals & @Action4Primates looks at the significance of recent UK convictions of people involved in online #monkey torture rings, & the ongoing fueling of monkey cruelty & hatred by #socialmedia platforms: www.asiaforanimals.com/post/primate... @LadyFreethinker @jaan_indonesia
Primate Cruelty Exposed: Legal Victory Shows the Need for Ongoing Advocacy
The convictions of Adriana Orme and Holly Le Gresley for their role in a monkey torture ring mark a victory for animal protection. Sentenced in the UK, they caused suffering to protected animals by commissioning and sharing videos of baby monkeys, mostly macaques, being brutally abused for online entertainment. These convictions highlight a growing issue of “monkey hatred” online. This blog explores the impact of this case and what must be done to stop primate abuse worldwide.

2024 was the year of the Fake Rescue. Exhibit #1: Spot the Scam, from Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition, documented the rise of this video genre. #Primates were second only to cats as those intentionally imperiled for content creators to "rescue." 1/4

To celebrate #worldmonkeyday, we've opened a BlueSky account! Pictured here are just two of the monkey species on whose behalf we work - the San Martin titi monkey and the yellow-tailed woolly monkey, both endemic to a small part of Northern Peru. It's great to be here! #primates #monkeys
