Amazing action plan for Western Chimpanzees - so important to see more progress! 🥰 @liberiachimps @jjdesmond @ApeActionAfrica

[Western Chimpanzee Action Plan Community @westernchimp]

It is finally here: The Western Chimpanzee Action Plan (WCAP) hits twitter and facebook! Stay informed about the plan, its stakeholders, research, and all the collective actions towards saving western chimps (1/3)

@peopleprimate Hi! This sounds an amazing opportunity - I have recently completed a research masters on longitudinal social dynamics and proximity behaviour in captive gorillas 🦍 the use of social network analysis is something that was very exciting to implement in primatological research!

🌍 Today Bristol marched! Led by @GretaThunberg but inspired by a desire to see change, thousands of us called for our our policy makers to lead us into effectively tackling the climate crisis. #filmstrikeforclimate #gretainbristol #ClimateStrike #ClimateEmergency #Greta 🌏

@Ben_garrod @BBCTwo @jjdesmond @liberiachimps Brilliant episode! I can now see why it's a tricky situation haha - can't wait for the next one!

Also, will baby chimpanzees instinctively copy alarm calls or do they have to practice and learn the vocalisations?

[Brendan Harris @BrendanHarris01]

Please watch this tonight on @BBCTwo at 8pm! They are doing incredible work and need all the support and awareness we can get #BabyChimpRescue @jjdesmond @liberiachimps @Ben_garrod

And I'm hoping for a glimpse of Gloria 🤞

I got motivation support 🐢

Relying on bucket loads of coffee to finish off writing this thesis ☕ The end is in sight!

@jjdesmond Any kind of behavioural data which I would be able to analyse (quantitatively or qualitatively) would be incredible

[Brendan Harris @BrendanHarris01]

Urgently looking for any data sets on apes (preferably gorillas) in captivity or the wild for a postgraduate research project - would require access to the data and approval to perform analyses. Open to possibilities and keen to make it of advantage to the apes #primates #MPhil

Just received my Letter of Support from the @BIAZA committee - hard work paying off! Now to start gathering data 😍 #primatology #anthropology #MPhil #UoB #griefinapes

My boyfriend just delivered a lamb by himself and I'm so impressed! A true vet in the making 🐑 #ewecandoit

A heartbreaking new video suggests that gorillas grieve for their dead—the closer the bond, the more distressed they are over the death.... https://t.co/WTSvxisfex

Please urge the UK government to take action - people are dying. https://t.co/80Hhw2tOYo #bruneiboycott #lgbtq #humanrights #brunei

Searching for any papers out there about the reactions/behaviours of primates to the death of a conspecific which ISN'T centred around the deceased body itself (e.g. their activity budgets post-death) #primatology #anthropology #grief #MPhil #primateconservation #thanatology
