NEPC’s celebrated Primate Species Profiles series is the most accessed section of the NEPC website, featuring profiles of more than four hundred primate species, with an objective to profile all 522 species. Each month, we introduce new species to the series while also rewriting profiles that are 5 to 6 years old to include the latest news, census data, ecological impacts, species classifications, and behavioral discoveries.
Depending on various factors, our global team of content contributors completes 8 to 12 profiles per month. The fact-checking process will be a shared responsibility. Although the time required may decrease with experience, we estimate approximately 10 hours per month for this task.
Accuracy is paramount. These profiles are utilized by students and educators from elementary school through university levels, as well as beyond, for projects, reports, and curriculum planning. They are frequently cited across various platforms, including online sources, social media, print publications, nature magazines, television programming, children's publications, authors, blogs, national news agencies, science museums, and conservation groups
If you possess extensive knowledge about a wide range of primate genera, I would like to discuss this opportunity with you. With additional fact-checkers, we can engage more writers and provide enhanced resources to the 7.5 million readers who rely on NEPC for comprehensive information about our nonhuman primate counterparts. Please note, we are seeking individuals who already have the requisite knowledge for effective and efficient fact-checking, not those looking to learn more.
Must be over 25. Must have impeccable command of the English language.

Mission Statement
New England Primate Conservancy is committed to leaving a legacy of hope and tools to create a better tomorrow for all of the Earth's citizens.
Description
Did you know that almost three-quarters of all primate species are threatened? All nonhuman primates are threatened by habitat loss caused by human activities. But there is hope. Since the problems are caused by human activity, they are preventable, repairable, and reversible. We can each take small steps in our daily lives, in our daily choices, to create change for the better.
In addition to raising awareness about our environmental impact, humane education strives to develop empathy and tolerance toward all creatures, which facilitates the leap to empathy and tolerance for differences in people. Over 30 years of studies confirm the direct correlation between abuse and neglect of animals and violence against people. By the same token, compassion for our fellow animals can be an indicator of our compassion for each other. When we protect and advocate for our fellow animals, we are part of a much larger solution. Join us. Contribute to the solution.
