RESEARCH.

We’re committed to more than just rescue and rehabilitation. We also play a crucial role in educating and inspiring the next generation. Our educational programs for kids are designed to foster a deep appreciation for wildlife and conservation.
At ONCA, our dedication to wildlife conservation is deeply intertwined with thorough scientific research. Our in-house studies focus on wildlife health, behavior, and rehabilitation, aiming to elevate our conservation strategies and contribute to wider scientific knowledge.
Additionally, we host researchers conducting their master’s theses and other academic projects, broadening our scope of work.
BELOW, YOU’LL FIND EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH CONDUCTED AT ONCA, DEMONSTRATING OUR COMMITMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE AND DIVERSE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRIES IN THE FIELD OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION.

EXPLORING SEMI-CAPTIVITY
PRE-RELEASE STUDIES AT ONCA:

This document delves into several critical studies conducted at ONCA for primates in semi-captivity before their release. It covers aspects like social behavior analysis, the use of GPS collars for monitoring, and an edible plant survey to ensure a well-rounded and safe transition back into the wild. These studies are crucial in understanding primate needs and behaviors, enhancing their chances of successful reintegration into their natural habitats.

PARASITOSIS GASTROINTESTINAL
EN PRIMATES NEOTROPICALES

Explore our study on gastrointestinal parasitosis in Neotropical primates and the use of phytotherapy for its control in the Beni River region, Bolivia. This research provides insights into the health status of non-human?? primates and the effectiveness of the Bibosi plant as an antiparasitic agent.
