The 8th Asian Primate Symposium, the largest of its kind in Asia, will take place from the 13th to the 16th of November 2022 in Hanoi, Vietnam. It provides primate experts and stakeholders with a vibrant social environment where they can share their findings, views, and ideas regarding diverse topics, ranging from ethology, ecology, genetics, taxonomy to conservation. The symposium also promotes collaboration, partnership, and networking and represents as well an excellent forum to explore new funding opportunities for joint proposal development. It will also provide a unique opportunity to get a first-hand insight into Vietnam’s unique rich primate fauna and its conservation work. As such, attendees will visit the Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC) and Van Long Reserve, during which in-situ and ex-situ conservation efforts and challenges will be presented. The symposium is kindly hosted by Vietnam National University of Forestry in Hanoi and organized in cooperation with ‘Three Monkeys Wildlife Conservancy’.
