Primate Palooza concluded Tuesday, March 29 with a Primate Peace Parade at the Duke Lemur Center lead by Dr. Jane Goodall. Over 200 students participated in the parade, which ended at a small cabin. Dr. Jane spoke to the group from the cabin porch about how to get involved in Roots & Shoots. UNC’s Daily Tar Heel covered the story.
