Welcome To Primate Expertise

Primate Expertise bridges the gap between scientific research and community action across the DRC. We are committed to inspiring young leaders to shape the future of primatology through hands-on conservation. Our current initiatives span several key landscapes: from strengthening Grauer’s gorilla conservation in Kahuzi-Biega National Park alongside Wild Earth Allies, to protecting the endemic blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis) on Idjwi Island and baboon populations in Nyangezi. To further our scientific impact, we also lead intensive biomonitoring work in the Itombwe Nature Reserve. This multi-site approach allows us to safeguard a diverse range of non-human primates and their habitats. Our impact is driven by three key program pillars:

Values

- Tolerance - Integrity - Transparency - Equity - Altruism

Our vision

Create a forum where scientists and community organizations can share their experiences in implementing concerted strategies to conserve non-human primates and their habitat while improving livilihood in the DRC

Mission

Inspire a young generation of Congolese primatologists to take the lead in research and conservation of non-human primates.

What we do

Grauer's gorilla conservation with local communities

We are doing research, conservation and education on non-human primates with communities living around the KBNP. New local universities are being created in the region, but very few teach wildlife-oriented courses and consequently very few young students are interested in wildlife sciences, including primatology. Due to this lack of interest, there is a great concern for the long-term survival of the rich and diverse non-human primate fauna of DR Congo.
