Change is on the horizon! Thanks to the indefatigable efforts of Mr. Bishwanath Rijal (Nepal Program Coordinator), we are witnessing the emergence of a new generation of primate biologists and conservationists in Nepal. To help transform the way the Nepalis view our closest relatives we are devoting an entire issue of our flagship magazine, the Green Guard, to the Order Primates!
After an encouraging talk from Mr. Rijal, our very own primate expert, students in our Little Green Guards® program eagerly began researching the information and brainstorming the topics needed to produce this very special issue. From the Assam macaque to the uakari, to the woolly lemur and the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, the students were captivated by the wonders of the primate world, and little by little, were becoming experts in their own right.
This is just one example of how LVDI International ensures a brighter future for wildlife by creating a pipeline of conservation-minded individuals who will continue to carry the torch. Wherever we work we are committed to saving endangered species through education programs that instill a love for all life forms on Earth.
