International Primate Day

Today we celebrate International Primate Day!

Across East and Southeast Asia, primates such as macaques, orangutans, and gibbons are facing increasingly complex challenges. Protecting them requires more than one approach.

Rescue centres, wildlife authorities, conservation organisations, local communities, and tourists all have a role to play.

This is why the 2026 WARN Asia Conference will bring together professionals from across East and Southeast Asia to explore this year’s theme, Merging Animal Rescue and Ecotourism for Wildlife Conservation.

How can rescue centres contribute to conservation beyond rehabilitation? How can responsible tourism support wildlife, such as primates, as well as local communities? How can we work together to create lasting conservation impact?

Join us in Sandakan this November to share experiences, ideas, and solutions.
