Hi, my name is Rosanna, and I’m a Master by Research student at Bournemouth University. My field of research is primate ecology and my research investigates how arboreal primates are adapting and responding to forest loss and degradation. I worked in North Sumatra, Indonesia and focused on the primate species, Hylobates lar, more commonly known as the white-handed gibbon. My research will investigate which vegetative characteristics (i.e. canopy connectivity or tree height) impact gibbon distributions across forest types in the Sikundur area in North Sumatra.
