The mission of the ASP Conservation Fund is to support primate conservation efforts, particularly by recognizing and aiding colleagues and students from primate habitat countries. Through awards and grants, the Fund aims to bolster conservation initiatives by providing both financial support and prestige to its recipients, thereby making a lasting impact on primate conservation globally.
The grant program from the ASP Conservation Fund is designed to honor and support students and early career investigators from countries with native primate populations. Its primary goal is to aid individuals who show a significant potential for contributing to primate conservation efforts. The awards not only offer financial support but also serve to elevate the profile of the recipients and their conservation work, often with acknowledgment by high-ranking officials to generate beneficial publicity for primate conservation initiatives in the recipient’s home country.
