I& #39;ve agonized over which videos to include for covering #PrimateConservation in my Intro to Bio Anth class this week, but figured I& #39;d share because there& #39;s so much great stuff in this list! (1/12)! #Primatology #Conservation #DecolonizePrimatology
Is Social Media Saving or Enslaving the Slow Loris by @QueenFireface. A great introduction to the problem of social media perpetuated the pet and entertainment trades. https://youtu.be/DXvAv-Tacxw ">https://youtu.be/DXvAv-Tac...
Rang-Tan is a short animated commercial that introduces the problem of palm oil and tugs at your heart (3/12). https://youtu.be/3Ha6xUVqezQ ">https://youtu.be/3Ha6xUVqe...
Are palm oil farmers shooting orangutans? Depressing, but a more in-depth look at the issues with palm oil (4/12) https://youtu.be/EU1abJMw7cs ">https://youtu.be/EU1abJMw7...
The Heroes Saving Our Closest Cousins from Extinction. Because I try to pepper some hopeful, positive messages among the more depressing videos. (5/12) https://youtu.be/JH8_RneaViY ">https://youtu.be/JH8_RneaV...
Race to save abandoned chimps of & #39;Monkey Island.& #39; Addresses biomedical use, retirement, and the importance of local people in helping the primates--as they continued to care for the chimpanzees when NYBC stopped paying them or paying for food. https://youtu.be/FhVJ0fdcay0 ">https://youtu.be/FhVJ0fdca...
Primates in Peril: The World& #39;s 25 Most Endangered Primates, 2018-2020. Short, but I wanted just a brief video that introduced some of them (8/12). https://youtu.be/29qLgSuHn4s ">https://youtu.be/29qLgSuHn...
Why Brazil& #39;s indigenous people fight for the Amazon rainforest. Less primate-focused, but important in highlighting the role indigenous people play in conserving their native lands, and very relevant for the week of #IndigenousPeoplesDay2020 (9/12) https://youtu.be/hklt2xW2DCg ">https://youtu.be/hklt2xW2D...
Monkeys saved from extinction. Because golden lion tamarins are a good example of an uplifting conservation story! (10/12). https://youtu.be/3xcoVUpOVJs ">https://youtu.be/3xcoVUpOV...
Gorillas, smartphones, and coltan mining. Because I wanted a brief video that touched on this topic so students would be aware of how electronics use are tied to this global trade, and the importance of recycling phones/other electronics. (11/12)

New Hainan gibbon couple brings hope for the world& #39;s rarest primate: because we needed to end on a hopeful note! It& #39;s still such a small population, but at least is trending in the right direction (12/12). https://youtu.be/J_Nyzq9u9VE ">https://youtu.be/J_Nyzq9u9...
Also, to add to this #PrimateConservation video list, there& #39;s more colleagues suggested that I didn& #39;t include due to length/focus/lack of subtitles, but are still great! Here& #39;s some more:
The Kingdog of the Lion-Tailed Macaque--23-24 minute lovely documentary that addressed conservation a bit at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jc5neom2X0&fbclid=IwAR0r3u_7VvhqKyhB4k01CChpsw5-5Gx-8M4lKHuY3OviIwqaxsi9VRUtAgQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
