Neotropical Primate Conservation

What Neotropical Primate Conservation does

Neotropical Primate Conservation (NPC) is a UK-registered charity (Registered Charity number 1131122; Company number 06290336) founded in 2007 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, with operational branches in Peru (since 2014), Colombia (since 2016), and Argentina (since 2021). The organization's stated purpose is the conservation of Neotropical primates and their habitats in South and Central America, executed through a community-led model in which rural communities are supported to create and manage their own protected areas rather than relying on top-down enforcement. NPC reports protecting over 150,000 hectares of forest across three countries, with eleven community-led reserves in Peru alone covering nearly 500,000 hectares and safeguarding sixteen primate species including three Critically Endangered or Endangered endemics.

NPC's core programmatic offerings span community conservation, land protection, animal rescue from wildlife trafficking, scientific investigation, environmental education, social development (ecotourism, carbon offsets, sustainable agriculture), and reforestation with native species via more than a dozen tree nurseries. Scientifically, the organization employs traditional field methods including sniffer dogs for non-invasive faecal sample collection, radio telemetry, and genetic sampling; its researchers publish in open-access journals, with documented influence on IUCN Red List reassessments and national conservation policy in multiple countries. The team includes IUCN Primate Specialist Group members, CONICET investigators, and officers of the Latin American and Argentinian Primatological Societies.

NPC's revenue model is diversified across donations (one-time and recurring via UK TotalGiving and US 501(c)(3) partner Conservation Allies, with UK Gift Aid), volunteer program fees at EUR 450 per month (covering accommodation, food, local travel, and fieldwork costs), merchandise sales through a Teemill online store, third-party affiliate fundraising (EasyFundraising, Easysearch), and Amazon Wishlist equipment contributions. The organization is supported by institutional grants (e.g., USFWS International Affairs), a patron (musician Vanessa Forero), and a network of strategic partnerships with universities, IUCN specialist groups, and regional environmental authorities across its three operating countries.
