We educate and inspire diverse communities to participate in our commitment to celebrate, study, and protect primates and their habitats.
Scientific Research
We aim to increase our knowledge about the biology and evolution of social behavior in primates, and by extension, in man.
Educational Tours Rooted in Science
This site describes our Primate Biology Program in Sri Lanka. We do scientific studies and offer educational tours observing the fascinating soap-opera lives of monkey societies. Observations take place in the monkeys’ tropical forest home among scenic ruins of temples and palaces of bygone Buddhist and Hindu civilizations.
You benefit from our 50+ years of scientific study, and 30+ years as expedition leaders.
Different tours are tailored for families with children, retirees, students and professionals
This site is also relevant to scientists, students, educators, and anyone interested in primate biology, wildlife conservation and South Asian tropical biodiversity.
