This site is being designed in real time as a resource for those working at the human - non human primate interface. The goal is to create a Community of Practice, connecting relevant facts, experts and resources from several professional communities (human health, captive, sanctuary, and in situ conservation 'facilities' and sites) to assist with response and management of the 2020 SARS CoV2 viral outbreak or COVID-19 disease. We hope that by creating synergy across "non human primate communities" during this outbreak, we will build bridges and knowledge that will be useful for future outbreak prevention, response and contingency planning. Disclaimer: information and best practices are changing daily, this site is backed by a core team of multi-disciplinary experts committed to finding the best fact-based information or experts.

Entry into the site can be accomplished through the routes below.
