Societal perceptions and interactions between Barbary macaques and residents in Gibraltar, and the potential for citizen science to play a role in their management within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
Bethany’s talk covers the complex relationship between humans and Barbary macaques in Gibraltar. Her study seeks to explore the perceptions, behaviours, and interactions of both residents and tourists with the macaques, shedding light on their cultural significance and areas of conflict or harmony. Bethany will talk about how she is working to achieve a comprehensive understanding using a multi-disciplinary approach. Her talk will also cover the behavioural ecology of the Barbary macaques in Gibraltar. Lastly, she will explore how citizen science may potentially play a role in their management within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
