Karen Strier, Ph.D. joined us via webinar from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil to talk about her WINGS flag expedition, Saving the World’s Most Peaceful Primate: Behavior, Ecology, and Population Demography of the Northern Muriqui.
Dr. Strier, a professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an international authority on the northern muriqui monkey. She has been studying the endangered species in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest since 1982. Dr. Strier and her research team have made significant discoveries about the behavioral ecology, reproductive biology, and life histories of muriquis that have advanced our scientific understanding of primates in general, and contributed directly to the conservation and management of this critically endangered species.
