Description
The American Society of Primatologists (ASP) offers this grant to support in-situ conservation of species in the Aotus genus. Students and professionals may propose research or conservation action, but only projects with a clear, direct contribution to night monkey conservation will be considered. The grant recognizes ASP member Roger Brumback, who described the species Aotus brumbacki, named after him.
The program addresses conservation concerns including habitat loss from agricultural expansion, cattle ranching, logging, conflict, and mining, as well as the bushmeat and pet trade. ASP particularly encourages members to support collaborators from habitat countries in developing strong proposals. Conservation value is central to review, alongside project feasibility, applicant expertise, and the appropriateness of the timeline and budget.
