Passionate about Primates
Rachel Hevesi - Consultant
Do you need help, advice, a speaker, an article or a report?
My interests, experience and skills are in practical primate care; rescue and rehabilitation; animal behaviour; animal welfare; ethics; education; conservation and the environment.
I have been working for the conservation of primates for over 20 years. For much of that time I have had the honour of caring for a captive group of woolly monkeys, (Lagothrix lagothricha), at The Monkey Sanctuary in the UK, world renowned for its expertise, knowledge and understanding of this delicate species.
As a specialist in South American primates, I have worked in Chile and Brazil as well as advising projects in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.
My role at The Monkey Sanctuary has included being a director of a business that attracts over 30,000 visitors a year, giving talks, managing budgets, training staff, chairing meetings, liasing with partner organisations plus management of the monkeys' physical and psychological health including territory design and enrichment.
