Busch Gardens is proud of its long-standing relationship
with the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center, Emory
University, Atlanta, Ga., the site of some of the most
well-respected primate research programs in the world.
Busch Gardens has partnered with the Yerkes Center on
several primate conservation research programs including
the Tana River Primate Research Center in Southeast
Kenya and in-park behavioral research carried out by
Frans de Waal, Ph.D. and his staff at the Yerkes Center.
Five gorillas in Busch Gardens' primate habitat Myombe
Reserve: The Great Ape Domain are on a long-term breeding
loan from the Yerkes Center. Busch Gardens is the fourth
zoological facility to which the Yerkes Center has loaned
its gorillas for propagation, behavioral and reproductive
research.
