Primates In Our Midst May Term 2018: London, Gibraltar and Louisville Illinois Wesleyan University May 8 – 25, 2018 Program Direction and Academic Content by Dr. Ellen Furlong and Jill Katka, Assistant Curator for the Louisville Zoo’s Commissary and Gorilla Forest. Course: Psych 369: Primates in our Midst: How Monkeys Solve the Human Problem Nonhuman primate minds are shaped for problems they encounter in the wild foraging social relationships, navigating space, etc. However, many face new cognitive challenges imposed by living with or around humans, either in captivity (i.e., in zoos or sanctuaries) or the wild (when humans co-occupy their habitats through urban sprawl, deforestation, ecotourism, etc.) Primates have succeeded to the extent they have thanks to a hallmark of their primate minds: the ability to change their behavior intelligently in reaction to new situations. We will examine how primates flexibility adapt to humans both in captivity (the London Zoo, Howlett’s Animal Park) and the “wild” (Gibraltar Nature Reserve). We will then apply what we have learned to construct enrichment items for primates at the Louisville Zoo. Itinerary Tuesday May 8 CHICAGO Departure.

The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

Recommendations were created from visitor surveys, interviews with museum professionals, as well as, evaluations of digital media at other sites. Results show the implementation of an application adds value by letting visitors learn at their own pace, engage the whole family, as well as, share and extend their experience. These values correlate with possible characteristics for a successful application. i Acknowledgments Our team would like to thank our sponsor, the Tower of London, for the exciting opportunity to work on this project at the Tower of London. We would specifically like to extend our thanks to Megan Gooch and Dominique Driver whose consistent support made this project possible. We would also like to thank all the members of the Tower of London staff for their support, insight and assistance with the project. Finally, we would like to thank our Worcester Polytechnic Institute advisors, Paul Davis and Kathi Fisler, for their generous advice and support throughout this project.
