Item Description
Dr. Andrew Baker, COO at Philadelphia Zoo, will lead a tour for up to 10 people of the Rare Animal Conservation Center and PECO Primate Reserve, the Philadelphia Zoo's two primate facilities, as well as the innovative trail system that gives monkeys and lemurs the opportunity to travel far from their usual homes.
The Zoo's primate collection includes more than 20 species, among them a number of rarely-exhibited species, including Coquerels sifaka and the critically endangered pied tamarin. Dr. Baker's dissertation work focused on the social ecology of golden lion tamarins in Brazil. He is a former Curatorial Intern at the NZP, and has been active in many AZA programs, e.g. as Chair of the New World Primate Taxon Advisory group.
Item Special Note
Tour includes admission and free parking. NOTE that participants cannot go behind-the-scenes. A mid-May mid-September date is best for primate viewing. Expires April 30, 2015
