Ten Years of Positive Impact of a Conservation Education Program on Children's Knowledge and Behaviour Toward Crested Macaques () in the Greater Tangkoko Area, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Unlabelled: In areas where primates are threatened, environmental education interventions are a key way to increase the local population's knowledge of their environment and encourage positive attitudes and habits to preserve the environment and wildlife on a local and global scale. This study assesses the impact of Tangkoko Conservation Education (TCE), the Macaca Nigra Project's conservation education programme, running since 2011 in North Sulawesi for school children, teachers, and the local population. TCE's goal is to help people increase their knowledge of their environment and develop more positive habits and behaviours towards their local environment, especially the Critically Endangered and endemic crested macaques ().

Evaluation of public engagement activities to promote science in a zoo environment.

Scientists are increasing their efforts to promote public engagement with their science, but the efficacy of the methods used is often not scientifically evaluated. Here, we designed, installed and evaluated the educational impact of interactive games on touchscreens at two primate research centres based in zoo environments. The games were designed to promote interest in and understanding of primates and comparative psychology, as a scaffold towards interest in science more generally and with the intention of targeting younger individuals (under 16's).
