ABOUT

Dr. Paul A. Garber is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, USA.

 

I am a former Executive Editor of the American Journal of Primatology (2008-2017) and was named the 2017 American Society of Primatologists Distinguished Primatologist. I have conducted primate field research in 8 countries throughout Central and South America, as well as across China focused on the behavioral ecology of tamarins, marmosets, callimicos, capuchins, howler monkeys, snub-nosed monkeys, gibbons, and macaques. I have authored over 250 journal articles and book chapters (including 12 edited books) on the behavior, ecology, cognition, and conservation of nonhuman primates. This includes several recent papers on the impending extinction crisis faced by the world’s primates. I currently serve as an Adjunct Professor at the International Center of Biodiversity and Primate Conservation at Dali University, Dali, Yunnan, China. Recently, I co-organized two workshops on scientific activism and environmental justice.
