As some of you may already be aware, a fellow UTSA primatologist has been seriously injured while conducting his master's research. Andrew is one of the kindest and most genuine people I've ever met in my life. He is passionate about all animals and very committed to enriching the lives of animals and primates in captivity. He is currently in hospital near Johannesburg.
Here is a link to a web service that has been set up to collect donations for his recovery. If you can, please donate- even something small will help.

I can only tell you that this has been really shocking and upsetting news for us. He has a lot of experience working with animals as a keeper and he's volunteered at Chimp Eden before too. Andrew is a kind, funny, intelligent, and selfless guy. I hope that we can all rally for him to help him recover.
