RESEARCH:
Assessing the development of a cognitive research programme and chimpanzee introductions in a zoo
We examined four main topics with captive chimpanzees:
- Welfare
- Cognition
- Public engagement with science
- Animal management (behavioural predictors)
A portion of the project was filmed by the BBC for the documentary, Natural World The Chimpcam Project (originally broadcast in 2010).
