We have something a little different for today’s blog post! Our education committee, which includes board members Tara, Lori, and Jessica, created a quiz for you!
Here’s the explanation and the quiz (below) from them:
If you have been a reader of our blog for any period of time, you know that CSNW’s mission is firmly rooted in caregiving and education. We enjoy sharing the daily stories from our staff members who spend their time cleaning, preparing food, and engaging with our family of chimpanzees and bovines. We also share behaviors of wild chimpanzees that we observe in our residents, reminding us that they could have lived freely in the wild had their fates not been overtaken by human intervention.
Informing our supporters is important to ensure that the public is aware of the plight of primates worldwide because awareness brings about action and action results in change. The kind of change that primates need is myriad, but the more people are aware, the more likely they are to donate, demand, and direct the results needed to protect primates and ensure their existence for generations. In contrast, unawareness or ignorance can misinform well-intentioned animal lovers, perpetuation harmful practices (lie roadside zoos, primates as pets, and use in biomedical research and entertainment) that can lead to lives of misery and even extinction.
Whether you are a donor, mission supporter, or a curious reader, we invite you to participate in an interactive series of upcoming blog posts that will focus on education about primates.
To start, we invite you to test your knowledge of chimpanzees and other primates by taking an anonymous quiz. Your responses will directly impact our educational outreach by identifying the topics on which we should focus on next.
Test your knowledge of chimpanzees and other primates at this link or directly on the quiz embedded below.
You can be an advocate for primates by sharing what you learn with your friends and family, further spreading accurate information and breaking common myths. Sharing our blog posts on your social media can have an exponential effect!
