Training Opportunities

The DuMond Conservancy provides special education programs in primatology for middle and high school students, including a 9-week program for a local magnet middle school and a supplementary education program for mentally-challenged students.

College students conduct field trips at Monkey Jungle using on-site accommodations and educational opportunities are available for Pre-College, Undergraduate, and Graduate field work and internships. Research emphasizes behavioral studies of semi-free ranging populations of squirrel, capuchin, and java monkeys, but may also include other areas of interest. Projects that span broad aspects of primate biology are encouraged. Veterinary support is available as is access to a primate library. Financial support is rarely available

Students or teachers interested in studying with the DuMond Conservancy should make an application to Dr. S. Evans, Programs Coordinator, via email at dumond@dumondconservancy.org.
