Happy New Year to everyone!! In our first post of 2024, we want to let you know some of our plans for this new year. Zocay Project 20th birthday is this year, and we are very excited and grateful with all farmers and people who had helps us over the past two decades to make this project a success. So, we are planning a few surprises for all of you very soon!!!
We are also excited to announce that this year we continue with our project to improve our knowledge of Ornate titi monkey (Plecturocebus ornatus) distribution limits. We are grateful with our donors from Chalcraft Fund Primate Grant manage through Rewild. We are also grateful with all people from private reserves that had reach out to us reporting their observation of this beautiful species on their land. In the following months we will keep you updated with all new areas visited and all advances in this new project.
This year we also continue with our monitoring of primate populations in fragments of San Martín area as well as some areas in Villavicencio, Cumaral and Villanueva, with some of our first trips starting next week. We area starting Colombian squirrel monkey babies’ season again and babies of some other species had been reported recently too. In collaboration with Cumaral Biodiversa we will continue supporting their effort to monitor Brumback night monkeys (Aotus brumbacki) nest in their territory.
Hopefully this year will be also successful on new publications about our results that we expect will improve not only our knowledge of primate populations living in forest fragments but also some recommendations and conservation actions to better improve those populations. We also plan to participate the Latin American Congress of Primatology that this year will be in Colombia. Also, we hope to continue collaborating with Nature Trips to train local guides for primate watching in Vista Hermosa area.
