The Santa Rosa Primate Project is committed to the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and to advanced training of local team members from primate habitat countries.

Through an internship program run by our project co-directors and faculty at the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, we provide training opportunities to local Costa Rican post-secondary students in field primatology methods and experimental laboratory techniques.

We are constantly striving to expand and build local collaborations. Our team is engaged in collaborations with the Santa Rosa osteology museum to conduct research linking stable isotopes with dietary ecology and with veterinarians and researchers at Kids Saving the Rainforest wildlife refuge in Quepos.
