Primate and Predator Project
http://primateandpredatorproject.wordpress.com/
This is the blog of the Primate and Predator Project. We are studying biodiversity, predator-prey relations, and human-wildlife conflict. We focus on leopards, brown hyaenas and primates as a model system. The project is run by Durham University in the UK but we are based in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa.
