Macaca maura project
Mission statement
The MMP objectives are to help protecting the endangered moor macaque (Macaca maura) and its habitat in South Sulawesi (Indonesia), and to get a better understanding of the ecology, behaviour and cognition of this species. Our ethos is to always prioritise the wellbeing of all the animals and plants involved in our research, and of the local communities.
Although the primary focus of our project is the endangered moor macaque (Macaca maura), we aim to protect the habitats inhabited by ASAP species:
Yellow-crested cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea),
Sulawesi forest turtle (Leucocephalon yuwonoi)
Banggai crows (Corvus unicolor),
Sulawesi bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus)
