Dr Inza Kone

I am a Primate Conservation Biologist. I ama Lecturer at the Faculty of Biosciences of the University Félix Houphouët-Boigny, Abidjan, Ivory Coast and Director of Research and Development at the Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en Côte d'Ivoire. My current work focuses on natural resource management and the conservation of large mammal species, especially primates. This work makes the link between ecology, economy and culture for the empowerment of rural communities. I am member of several professional organizations including the Commission for the Survival of Species IUCN, the Conservation Committee of the International Society of Primatology, the Scientific Commission of the National Program for the Conservation of Natural Resources (Côte dIvoire), and the Scientific Commission of the REDD + Program in Côte d'Ivoire.
