Culture Conference 2005

picture from culture conference 15th - 17th of September 2005

For the past 40 years or so, there has been a debate as to whether nonhuman animals exhibit culture/social traditions. In recent years, this aspect of the culture debate has been fairly clearly resolved, as many species have been demonstrated to engage in social learning. Now scientists are more interested in understanding the variation in each species’ cultural capacities, the social learning mechanisms involved in creating traditions, and the circumstances that select for these differences in cultural processes in nature.

Workshop on Controlling the Impact of Ebola on African Apes

10.-11. March, 2005

Over the last twenty years a burgeoning commercial poaching industry and the deadly Ebola virus have caused sharp declines in world gorilla and chimpanzee populations. On March 10-11 an international group of experts met in Washington to assess the magnitude of threat posed by Ebola and evaluate options for protecting apes from it.

Western Lowland Gorilla Conference - May 2002

Will our children live in a world without gorillas?
The vast majority of the world's gorillas live in the forests of central Africa, not in the mountains of east Africa. Results reported in Leipzig, Germany, at the recent gathering of world's gorilla experts show that western gorillas are much more diverse then previously recognized. The very survival of these western gorillas is now threatened by a wave of commercial poaching, the experts warn. With immediate investment in law enforcement this decline could be reversed.
