Title

Exploring the human-macaque interface in Indonesia and Florida, USA: Toward sustainable coexistence

---

Abstract

In this talk, Dr. Riley will discuss her field research at two distinct sites where humans and macaques (Macaca spp.) interface: at forest-agriculture edges in Sulawesi, Indonesia and along the Silver River, Florida. She will compare the nature of the interconnections between people and macaques and some of the conflicts that ensue at these sites, identifying convergences and divergences. She will also explore how, despite conflict, tolerance and sustainable coexistence may also be possible.
