The Cognitive Evolution Group is working with an international group of scientists from universities including University of Puerto Rico, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, University of Exeter, NYU, and University of Washington to save the Cayo Santiago Field Station’s 1500 rhesus monkeys, and the local community of Punta Santiago. Both suffered heavy damage when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico.
