This activities was initiated last year in 2013, where we
realize that primate conservation should be based on scientific information. And
actually there is a problems to conserve endangered primate and its habitat in
central java , that we lack of capacity and knowledge about primate survey
method.
Thus , the training aims are :1 to raise and encourage young primate researchers
and conservationist in central Java. 2. To enhance knowledge and technical
experience on field primate survey. 3. To establish professional network among
young primatologist in central java.
Totally 21 participants, were joint in 3 days training in

staff ,Journalist, and local NGO from surrounding javan gibbon habitat in central java
