PrimeConcern is dedicated to raising awareness of Endangered Primate Species. This initiative and the blog have been set up to profile the founding and project development of awareness campaign and research initiative PrimeConcern. With the intent to raise awareness and gather a collective interest from a global audience of scientists, animal behavioural experts, zoologists, researchers and social designers. PrimeConcern will primarily act to raise awareness and secondly encourage feedback, participation and collaboration.

Founded in 2007, by MSc and PGD Student Julia Quick, currently studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Belfast’s Queen’s University and Socially Conscious Communications Designer Kate Andrews. The diverse collaboration between scientist and designer gives PrimeConcern two platforms of expertise and experience: a body of knowledge focused toward the endangerment of Primate Species, and an understanding of how Communication Design can assist and embellish the awareness of global, environmental and social issues.
