I am a behavioural ecologist and biological anthropologist specialising in research on primate reproductive ecology, physiology and conservation. I direct the Zanzibar Red Colobus Project, a new long-term study of an endangered and endemic primate. Together with my students, in Zanzibar we study how these animals are coping with human-induced changes to their habitat and how anthropogenic disturbance affects their behaviour, physiology, and reproduction.

This proposal outlines how the research expertise of members of the ZRCP and our track-record of working with the Zanzibar red colobus will be leveraged to deliver impact in the form of a policy briefing paper for the Zanzibari government, and how that activity in turn will be the focus of a programme of public engagement initiatives in North Wales and beyond. Translating research into policy on the topic of wildlife-human interactions will be impactful beyond the Zanzibari context given the significant increase in anthropogenic encroachment on the habitat of primates and other wildlife around the world and the growing need to find solutions for co-existence.
