New England Primate Conservancy is an animal protection and wildlife conservation organization that makes its greatest impact through education. Using captivating graphics, videos, and live narrative, the Conservancy’s presentation includes NEPC’s story, primate conservation, the importance of biodiversity, the importance of nonhuman primates to biodiversity, and what everybody everywhere can do in their daily lives to positively impact wildlife protection and environmental conservation. You don’t have to be a scientist to be a conservationist! With over eight billion people in the world, even if millions jumped on board and did one small thing each day on behalf of conservation, the impact could be tremendous!
