Oxford Brookes come to town
Wild Futures is very passionate about education and our specialised training has been recognised by Oxford Brookes University who have sent their students, studying for an MSc in Primate Conservation, to our flagship project The Monkey Sanctuary for the last 4 years to learn from the Sanctuary’s Primate Welfare Team.
Susan Cheyne, Associate Lecturer for the course said the following on her return,
“Future conservationists from the Oxford Brookes University MSc in Primate Conservation visited the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary on 25-26th March to learn first-hand about the work of the charity. The students had great fun participating in the environmental education activities which are used to teach youngsters about the care of the primates. The staff generously gave their time to talk to the students about the work of the charity, the reasons the Sanctuary is needed, the history of the monkeys as well as the design of the territories and how the monkeys are cared for. Sharing this information among primatologists can only help to improve welfare and raise awareness of the plight of the monkeys and can arm the students with knowledge which can be applied in their future careers.”
