ICIMOD along with its partners from India and Myanmar participated in the 7th Asian Primate Symposium and organized a technical session on 9 February 2020. This forum sought to increase regional cooperation among member countries and exchange information on the conservation status of primates, particularly gibbons and snub-nosed monkeys, monitoring of population trends, and the need to halt biodiversity loss and land degradation and other ecosystems. ICIMOD also supported emerging professionals from India and Myanmar for the pre-symposium training from 5 to 7 February 2020 and organized a field visit to Kaziranga National Park and Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary in Assam.
