The International Primatological Society aims to support non-human primatological research globally, foster collaboration among international scientists in this field, and advocate for the conservation of all primate species. It is dedicated to scientific, educational, and charitable purposes.
The Captive Care Grants, facilitated by the Captive Care and Breeding Committee of the International Primatological Society, focus on promoting ethical welfare and the development of new technologies for the captive care and breeding of primates. These grants, which can reach up to $1500, are aimed at projects that target the improvement of welfare standards for captive primates in range countries, gather information on welfare issues from local wildlife officials and field researchers, and enhance the conditions for the well-being of captive primates in these countries. While interested in the welfare of captive primates globally, this grant specifically supports initiatives based in range countries.
