- Abstract
Nonhuman primate species currently face human‐induced pressures and will continue to face them in the modern landscape. These pressures require conservation projects in primate habitat countries to aid in protection, preservation, and conservation. Though there are several examples of primate conservation projects, starting up an initiative can be a daunting task. The American Society of Primatology (ASP) Conservation Committee hosted a video webinar presenting on the first steps of developing, running and continuing a primate conservation program. Dr. Christopher Shaffer, Rahayu Oktaviani, and Dr. Jill Pruetz presented their early program experiences establishing wild primate conservation projects to educate primatologists around the world. The running themes of the presentations included establishing community, working locally, impacting locally and preparing for the future. Research highlights: The webinar focused on the conservation initiative beginning stages with three conservation project leaders presenting.Community engagement and supporting local knowledge by working and impacting locally in primate home countries are required for a successful beginning.Preparing for the future is a crucial step of establishing conservation projects.
