  • 2017 Annual Report
    Pan African Sanctuary Alliance Annual Report 2017 Letter from the Executive Director Dear friends, When I joined the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) as Executive Director in 2015, the Board of Directors and I shared a vision of empowering pioneering wildlife centers across Africa, being guided by their expertise and developing PASA to be a leader in the movement to protect great apes and monkeys. It’s been a busy two years: In 2016, we laid the groundwork for a number of innovative programs that address the dire threats facing our closest relatives. In 2017, we expanded on that foundation, launching our projects in the field and expanding our reach in education and social media. But we haven’t done it alone. Through this journey, I’ve seen time and time again that the most valuable members of the movement to save Africa’s primates are compassionate and dedicated people like you. You gave hundreds of thousands of children across Africa the opportunity to learn about the animals around them and develop compassion for all living beings. You gave chimpanzees like Leila in Angola a life free from chains. You made it possible for specialists to visit PASA’s member sanctuaries and provide customized training for the caregivers who work closest with orphaned chimpanzees, gorillas, and monkeys. Without you, our work to save great apes and monkeys from extinction wouldn’t be possible. I can’t thank you enough for your commitment to these amazing animals. I am incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together. As PASA continues to grow, we will develop more impactful ways of strengthening our member sanctuaries and protecting the countless primates in need across Africa.

It is designed as a ready reference for law enforcement personnel who are confronted with hundreds of slang terms and code words used to identify a wide variety of controlled substances, designer drugs, synthetic compounds, measurements, locations, weapons, and other miscellaneous terms relevant to the drug trade.

  • Living Knowledges: Empirical Science and the Non-Human Animal in Contemporary Literature
    Living Knowledges: Empirical Science and the Non-Human Animal in Contemporary Literature By Joe Thomas Mansfield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of English October 2019 ii Abstract In contribution to recent challenges made by animal studies regarding humanist approaches in empirical science, this thesis offers a critical analysis of contemporary literary fiction and its representations of the non-human animal and the human and non-human animal encounters and relations engendered within the scientific setting. This is achieved through a focusing in on four different scientific situations: cognitive ethological field research, long-term cognitive behavioural studies, short-term comparative psychology experimentations, and invasive surgical practices. Sub- divisions of scientific investigation selected for their different methodological procedures which directly dictate the situational circumstance and experience of non-human animals involved to produce particular kinds of knowledges on them. The thesis is divided into four chapters, organised into the four sub-divisions of contemporary scientific modes of producing knowledge on non-human animal life and the distinct empirical methodologies they employ. The first chapter provides an extended analysis of William Boyd’s Brazzaville Beach (1990), using Donna Haraway’s conceptualisations of the empirical sciences as socially constructed to examine how the novel

  • Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla) Is Listed As Critically Endangered by IUCN Red List
    CONSERVATION INITIATIVES Long-term population monitoring WESTERN Population monitoring of gorrillas and LOWLAND other large mammals in Monte Alén NP GORILLA Central Africa Conservation breeding Participate in WLG EEP at Bristol Zoo The western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is listed as Critically Endangered by IUCN Red List. Found in six countries across Central Africa, it is threatened with habitat loss and bushmeat hunting across much of its range. Human-wildlife co-existence In 2014, the IUCN Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group Great Ape Section released the Regional Action Plan for the Conservation of Western Lowland Work with local communities to find Gorillas and Central Chimpanzees 2015-2025. In this plan, these experts highlight sustainable alternatives to bushmeat priority landscapes and actions to ensure the conservation of this species. One of the hunting sites of Exceptional Importance (i.e., holds more than 5% of the global population of gorillas) for gorilla conservation is the Monte Alén-Monts de Cristal-Abanga Landscape, a transboundary region between Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. The heart of this landscape is Monte Alén National Park, in Rio Muni, mainland Equatorial Guinea. This region is also highlighted for its high ‘irreplaceability value’, meaning that it is an area that must be preserved in order for effective conservation of the target species to occur, and where the same level of conservation impact cannot easily be acheieved Building capacity by conserving another region. This, coupled with the estimate of over 2000 gorillas Train local field technicians and remaining as of 2013, and reports of 15 other primate species occurring in the park, international graduate students in with limited active protection and currently no research presence, is why we have research methods chosen to focus our conservation efforts in Parque Nacional de Monte Alén.

We went through a trying process of re-evaluating, reaffirming and defining our core purpose - and for the first time lost one of our members, CERCOPAN. Yet PASA staged Management and Veterinary Workshops and welcomed a new member, Lilongwe Wildlife Center in Malawi. PASA also made eight Crisis Response grants for a total of more than US$34,000, and raised more than $135,000 in funds directly for sanctuaries. Most importantly, through it all, the sanctuaries continued their essential work of rescuing and caring for Africa’s primates while working with communities and governments to protect their kind in the wild.

    An analysis of the impacts extractive industries have on African ape conservation and community development - trends towards community involvement in conservation by Ruby Vise A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Zoology (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2019 Commencement June 2019 2 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ruby Vise for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Zoology presented on May 29, 2019. Title: An analysis of the impacts extractive industries have on African ape conservation and community development- trends towards community involvement in conservation Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Larry Becker Primate populations are declining in number, with an estimated “60% of primate species threatened with extinction from hunting and trapping” (Estrada et al., 2017). The largest threat to mammals in West and Central Africa is commercial hunting (Jost Robinson, Daspit, & Remis, 2011). Hunting these large mammals was once practiced sustainably by local communities. However, demand from outside sources leads to hunting levels higher than the forest can support. To understand the effect of bushmeat hunting on African apes, the complex interactions of humans with the environment must be considered. The manner in which the environment, including animals and the physical geography, interacts with human inhabitants and their social institutions is often left out of conservation
