Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes

Dr Tracie McKinney is a biological anthropologist with a research interest on human-primate interactions.  She has primarily worked with Central American monkeys, but is broadly interested in ecotourism, crop foraging, and other situations where humans and non-human primates interact.  She is a graduate of The Ohio State University, and currently work as a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Wales.  Tracie's most recent work has focused on ethnoprimatology and its role in primate research, best practice guidelines for primate tourism, and building aerial bridges to help monkeys safely cross roads.  Tracie is a member of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group's Section for Human-Primate Interactions (SHPI).
Dr Michelle A. Rodrigues is a biological anthropologist with research interests in the impact of sociality on stress biology, including the impact of human-primate interactions on primates across wild and captive contexts.  She has worked primarily with Central American monkeys, as well as captive platyrrhines and apes. She received her PhD from The Ohio State University and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social and Cultural Sciences at Marquette University. Her recent work has focused on applying decolonial approaches to improving the practice of primatology. Michelle is a member of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group's Section for Human-Primate Interactions (SHPI). 

Dr Siân Waters is the founder and director of a community conservation project in Morocco focusing on the Endangered Barbary macaque,  where she uses ethnographic data to identify social and cultural obstacles to the species' conservation.  She is an honorary research fellow in the Department of Anthropology at Durham University, UK, and the Vice-chair of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group's Section for Human-Primate Interactions (SHPI).  The SHPI focuses on understanding people's interactions with primates in agroecosystems, urban environments, human culture, and trade. Siân is also interested in the human dimensions of wildlife translocations and is a member of the IUCN SSC Conservation Translocations Specialist Group.
