What is BPRC? BPRC is the largest non-human primate research centre in Europe. It is a scientific facility that carries out biomedical research into serious diseases that threaten human health. Why do we use animals in research? Animal research played a vital role in most of the major medical advances achieved in the last century, and it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. There are many reasons why animals are still required for biomedical research. This web site outlines some of these reasons and provides links to organisations such as the Foundation for Biomedical Research and the Research Defence Society which provide more information about research with animals. A list of web sites with more information on the contribution of animal research to human health is available here In research on human health problems we use animals when it is not reasonable to use humans, either because it is not practical, or because it is not ethical to do so. With new therapies it is a legal and ethical requirement to prove safety in valid animal models. As a society we choose not to expose people to unnecessary health risks, yet it is a common misconception that scientists do not use humans as a resource for their experiments. Where it is possible, and ethically acceptable, scientists generally do so. Indeed what are termed Phase I, II and III clinical research studies that help finally determine whether a new medicine is safe and effective are all carried out with the help of human volunteers.

That is the time set aside by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams for an emergency meeting of the 38 primates, or archbishops/presiding bishops, of the Anglican Communion at Lambeth Palace in London. Williams is calling the primates together for prayer and private discussion about issues of human sexuality and Anglican teaching that have been raised since the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in August. In two controversial decisions, majorities of bishops, clergy and lay deputies confirmed the election of an openly homosexual bishop in New Hampshire and left the issue of blessing same-gender unions to the discretion of individual bishops in their own dioceses. Reactions across the broad landscape of the Episcopal Church have run the gamut from enthusiastic support to quiet agreement to bewilderment and personal anguish. At least some of the nation's 2.3 million Episcopalians are walking out the door to join other denominations. Others are focused on forming a new "orthodox" Anglican Church in the United States that they envision as separate from the Episcopal Church but still part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Conservation Habitat and Distribution: Marmosets and tamarins are found primarily in the tropical rainforests of South America with a few remnant populations located in Central America. The common marmoset is distributed throughout the Atlantic Coastal Forest of northeastern Brazil. Translocated populations of the common marmoset also flourish in the ranges of other Brazilian marmoset and tamarin species, such as around Rio de Janiero, well beyond their native coastal forests. The home range of a marmoset group can vary from 5,000 to 65,000 square meters (1.2-16 acres). On any one day a marmoset group will travel about 500 to 1000 meters. The common marmoset is entirely arboreal (tree dwelling) and prefers secondary or disturbed forests and edge habitat. This species may also be found in coastal and upland scrub forest, gallery forests and even gardens and parks of South American cities, such as Natal and Joao Pessoa. Wherever they are found, their home range will typically include a variety of habitat types.

Reference Taxonomy Nonhuman primates belong to the order Primates which contains three suborders: Prosimii , which are often considered to be pre-primates and include a variety of Asian and African species that are small, generally nocturnal animals who rely more on their sense of smell that their vision A newly recognized suborder, Tarsioidea, which includes the Trasius sp., that may represent the bridge between the pre-primates and the true primates Anthropoidea, which are the true primates and include two infraorders: the Platyrrhine or New World monkeys (NWM) and the Catarrhine or Old World monkeys (OWM). New World Moneys (NWM): General Characteristics New Work monkeys (NWM) are found in Central and South America and consist of two families of primates: the Callitrichidea, which include the marmosets and tamarins, and the Cebidea, which include howler, woolly, spider, woolly spider, owl (night), and squirrel monkeys as well as titis, sakis, capuchins, and uakaris. The marmosets and tamarins are small, fruit-eating animals that are active in the daytime and live in small groups in an arboreal environment. They are unique among the primates in that except for the big toe, all of their digits have long, sharp claws. Marmosets and tamarins are very territorial and make high-pitched, bird-like calls.

BIOLOGY OF NONHUMAN PRIMATES RESEARCH ANIMAL METHODS VSC 443/543 - Fall 2001 Lecture notes for November 7, 2001 Michael S. Rand, DVM Chief, Biotechnology Support Service University Animal Care University of Arizona - Tucson CLASSIFICATION OF NONHUMAN PRIMATES (see Table 1 Nonhuman primates are classified into four major categories: PROSIMIANS, NEW WORLD MONKEYS ( Platyrrhiny ), OLD WORLD MONKEYS ( Catarrhina ), and APES ( Hominoidea ). The true prosimians are primitive primates far removed from human stock and are found in arboreal habitats. The Lemuriformes of Madagascar are classified as endangered species and trade in them is not permitted. So far, no particular uses for them in medical research have been found. The new world monkeys (NWM) comprise two families the Callitrichidae (marmosets and tamarinds) and Cebidae, the members of which vary greatly in size, diet, habits, and color. They are more distantly related to man than the old world primates and may for this reason be a less reliable model for medical studies. Only five groups are in regular use in laboratories: 1.

56. Robinson Consecration Proceeds Despite Anglican Primates' The statement came after the primates of the Anglican Communion had met in addressthe confirmation of Robinson by the Episcopal Church s general Convention in http://www.westtexasonline.org/churchnews/robinson.htm

Robinson consecration proceeds despite Anglican Primates' objections Even after strong cautionary language from the Anglican Primates and a statement of repudiation signed by 2600 Episcopalians meeting in Dallas in late October, the consecration of Canon Gene Robinson, an openly gay man, went forward on November 2. "We reaffirm our belief that [we] faithfully and prayerfully considered and followed a Spirit-led process for the election of our new bishop," said a statement from the Diocese of New Hampshire in October. "Canon Robinson was elected based on his nearly three decades of ministry in the diocese, his considerable pastoral skills, and his vision for ministry," said the statement, adding that "his sexuality was incidental to his call to serve as our bishop." The statement came after the primates of the Anglican Communion had met in emergency session in London October 16 and 17, and emerged with their own proclamation on what they perceive as threats to Anglican unity. The special meeting was called by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams to address the confirmation of Robinson by the Episcopal Church's General Convention in August as well as "controversial decisions by the Diocese of New Westminster" in Canada to bless same-sex unions.

Don't repeat the mistake on page 847 of The Prayer Book . Here is what God really requires from the chosen people: Do justice A series of essays toward General Convention 2003 and beyond A Suggested Response to the Primates Meeting by The Rev. Canon Mark Harris poetmark@worldnet.att.net Thoughts more or less diplomatic at a late date: I have for some time argued that we ought to think of the Anglican Communion as an ecumenical fellowship among churches with a common history and not as a "world wide Church." (see my article, The Fourth Way, at http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/joyanyway/joy120.html . It has been a tight-knit fellowship, but an ecumenical one. The Anglican Communion is not a church, and its character as a fellowship is without power as the world, ecclesiastical or otherwise, might suppose. What these proposals attempt to state is the realities that derive from the current disputes present in this Anglican ecumenical environment before, during and following General Convention. The Episcopal Church, through the Presiding Bishop's office and person might well consider the following for use in the days ahead:

Content Page Nav Site Nav CNPRC Home ... Teacher Resources CNPRC Education Outreach Program The Education Outreach Program (EOP) was developed to introduce K-6 students to non-human primates, general science concepts, animals in research, and biomedical research programs and careers. It supports the California Science Content Standards. Using classroom-tested and age-appropriate curriculum and manipulatives, children are presented with a 90-minute program. Each session begins with a general introductory discussion, allowing flexibility for questions and verbal discoveries. This is followed by a generous amount of time for manipulatives and self-discovery using displays, educational tools and experiments. A summary discussion follows, to tie together ideas and answer common questions that have come up during the self-discovery time. A coloring and activity book is provided to each child to use during the discovery time, and to support continued learning of the materials covered during the program. The children are encouraged to share the information and excitement with their families and friends, extending the education benefits. This program has been a huge success with the classes visited since it began in June 2003. Some of the comments we have received indicate that the children, as well as the adults, have a greater understanding of primates and the sciences, and the positive benefits that the Primate Center has on their lives.
