"The human species changed,
within a short time, from just another species of big mammal to a world conquerer; Then we acquired the capacity to reverse all that progress overnight"
MPC and AESVT - l'Association des Enseignants des Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (http://www.wmaker.net/aesvtmaroc/) are working together on a pilot educational school programme in the regions of Azrou and Ouzoud in May/ June. A special lesson plan has been developed for this purpose that will focus on Barbary macaques, conservation issues, garbage and pollution and the importance to preserve our environment. Please follow the progress of this project on our MPC facebook. This project is funded by Trentham monkey forest, Montagne des Singes, Affenberg Salem and Rocamadour.

ARD - Documentary on Barbary macaques
MPC assisted the ARD German Public TV Wildlife Unit to film a documentary on Barbary macaques in Morocco, focused on the Central High Atlas and Middle Atlas populations. We were very unlucky with the weather but in the end we did manage to get some good footage.
Would you like to see the wild macaques in a stunning location in Morocco? We recommend Cascades d'Ouzoud and the following hotel that has been supporting out work: www.hotelchellalouzoud.com
