More about the book
The author's experience in New Guinea highlights the unique beauty and biodiversity of the region, yet it also reveals a personal longing for connection with primates, which are absent in the area. Attending a primate conservation conference, the author feels like an outsider, reflecting on the public's fluctuating interest in primates compared to other animals. This juxtaposition emphasizes the emotional and professional challenges faced by conservationists working in regions devoid of charismatic fauna, while also recognizing the broader appeal and importance of primate conservation efforts.
