The Duke/UNC Roots & Shoots group arose from a collaboration between Duke and UNC-CH students. Our main interest is primate conservation. By protecting primates, the ecosystems in which primates live will also be protected. Similarly, saving primates is linked to helping human populations that live in primate habitat countries. To save primates we must (1) improve education and healthcare for people living near primates and (2) educate people in the US about science and conservation.

Hello everyone!
ReplyDeleteThis is Jerry Lin from Roots & Shoots of National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. One of my friends who is a current Duke MBA student told me that there is a Roots & Shoots group at Duke and UNC, so I search your group name and found your beautiful blog.
I wonder if you could do me a favor: we are going to introduce the current works of university Roots & Shoots groups to the students from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology on May 11. It would be wonderful if you could send me some information and a couple of representative photos of your projects. I believe our audience would love to hear your interesting and successful stories about primate conservation!
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Jerry Lin
Roots & Shoots, National Taiwan University
