Le Conservatoire pour la Protection des Primates, founded by French Primate Park “LA VALLEE DES SINGES,” aims to fund conservation programs to protect wild primate populations worldwide. Through supporting research and initiatives, their mission focuses on the preservation and understanding of primates to ensure their survival and conservation.
The La Vallée des Singes Conservation Research Grant is designed to support research beneficial to the conservation of primates across the globe. It particularly emphasizes projects that study primates in their natural habitats, focusing on little known and potentially endangered species. Priority is given to research on the distribution and taxonomy of endangered primates, aiming to address urgent needs within the field. Additionally, the grant supports studies led by local researchers from the country where the primates are located, promoting indigenous leadership in conservation efforts. By funding such research, the grant hopes to contribute to the formulation and implementation of effective conservation plans for these vital species.
