XXIV Congress of the International Primatological Society

The 24th Congress of the International Primatological Society will take place in Cancun, Mexico. We look forward to welcoming you in Cancun!

It's the first time Mexico hosts this Congress and we welcome you warmly to one of the most diverse regions in the country. You can find a large variety of species here: four hundred seventy-five bird species, over a hundred different mammals, twelve hundred plant species and of course, wild populations of Ateles geoffroyi. This tropical paradise is also surrounded by an atmosphere created by one

of the civilizations recognized for its spectacular art, impressive architecture, and sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems, the Mayas. This Congress aims to provide a very fruitful experience through the creation of opportunities for primatologists to not only present and share their experiences, but also to explore and debate current and new direction in their fields. This year we are especially proud to introduce a socially and environmentally responsible vision to the Congress. We will be working with Mayan communities through different activities with the idea to leave a legacy of social benefit. For example, local artisans will be supported to come and show their products, but most importantly we want to involve local communities with primatologists and build a bridge between the academic sector and society. For this matter, we will be inviting primatologists to get involved in this initiative to deliver talks to teachers and students in Mayan communities. We are sure that this inspiring scenario will become a meeting point of a wide range of specialists, students and anyone interested in our field. With its turquoise water, its rich cultural legacy and its well-known biodiversity, Cancun will offer all participants of the IPS Congress not only a remarkable scientific program but also an opportunity to network and establish new compromises.
