This month, our 10-day Primate Conservation Course with Ian Redmond OBE visited the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre, Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve and Nyika National Park, where students studied vervets, baboons and blue monkeys through a series of lectures and practicals. The students learned about primate conservation, radio tracking, field survey techniques and primate reintroducation management and tried their hand at primate transects, vegetation surveys, telemetry, hair sample analysis and wild and captive behavioural observations.
Ian, a world-renowned primate and elephant researcher, is an ambassador and advisor for the Lilongwe Wildlife Trust, and this was a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn from one of the leading experts in the field of primate research. See below for a selection of photos from the course.
