It is nice to be trusted as an expert

My wife has a phd and is qualified to teach anatomy at med schools. So four years ago when she taught me the word ‘fupa’ I thought it was an actual anatomical term. Two years ago I learned it was an acronym. The flashbacks from me using it around others still haunt me.

One lesson: ...current & future PCEPs should acknowledge that the main issue is global consumerism & not the livelihoods of the humans who have lived near primate habitats for generations...many primatologists can focus on education in our own communities and make a bigger impact

~60% of primate species are threatened with #extinction and primatologists best positioned to protect #primates are from the places #WherePrimatesLive. Donations to support their work will be matched by partners at re:wild. Donate here & please share: https://t.co/COnflKVRDo

The @ASPvoice Conservation Committee is pleased to announce the "Saving the Primates Where they Live" initiative, which will provide financial assistance to habitat-country primatologists, those best positioned to protect the primates in their countries.
