Best Practice Guidelines for Responsible Images of Non-Human Primates
PSGB social media platforms are managed to avoid using images of humans interacting with primates due to the proven links to the illegal wildlife trade.
This is because:
- Images of people with primates distort public understandings of primates
- Images of people very close to primates may be subject to different interpretations across cultures
- Images of people with primates may make the general public want to obtain their own images very close to primates.
PSGB follows the guidelines from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Primate Specialist Group Section for Human-Primate Interactions to ensure we use responsible images of primates.
