Asp.org is the home of the American Society of Primatologists. For anyone who is interested in the world of primates, this is a great site to visit. Primates are the closest relatives of humans (in fact we are primates) and this website is perfect for anyone who want to get involved and learn more.
The site explains a lot about the activities the society undertakes including conservation, research, and education. Probably, their most important goal is to educate everyone on how human-like and fascinating the primates are. This is critical because only an educated public will care enough about primates to want to have them saved from extinction. Many of them are, in fact, currently in trouble and that is why the conservation efforts detailed on asp.org are so important. They encourage all types of conservation and are especially concerned about the killing of primates to eat their meat. They support lots of legislation to help protect the primates. They also award lots of awards and grants to help people with conservation efforts. These grants are used to encourage research into new and innovate ways to help protect them. Asp.org explains in depth much more about all their activities and also highlights the society as a whole, their meetings, and numerous links to other resources.
If you are fascinated by or are at all concerned about the growing crisis with these animal’s declining numbers around the world, then asp.org is the perfect place to go to get lots of more information.
