WATCH is associated with numerous universities around the world, and we have hosted researchers, honours, masters and post-doctorate students. All the research that is conducted at WATCH is non-invasive and the studies don’t harm our vervets in any way.
We had a representative from The University of St. Andrews, Scotland doing behavioural studies and this month we will have a researcher here conducting a study on the bacterial content of the faeces of wild monkeys versus monkeys in captivity. We even once had a photography student from England spending time here as she was doing her final project on primate hands and feet. We have had fantastic experiences and learnt from these researchers and students and we hope to continue having them in the future.
