Olga Feliu, our director, has been cordially invited to the next international primatology conference to be held in Kyoto at Kyoto University (Yoshida campus) in September 2010.

This prestigious international congress held once every two years brings together primatologists and other researchers from all over working on the front lines for the protection and conservation of primates.  The theme of the conference this year is “Quest for coexistence with non-human primates”.

MONA was invited to the conference by the organizers of a specific workshop titled “The growing role of rescue and rehabilitation centres beyond just saving and caring for primates”.  Olga will present the diverse primate research, education and protection taking place at MONA.  WSPA generously donated the required financial resources to cover all conference related expenses.

This conference is an excellent forum to present work being done at MONA and to exchange knowledge and ideas with other people who have also been working for so many years protecting and studying our closely related cousins.
