Conservation education goals generally include influencing people's conservation awareness, attitudes, and behaviors. Effective programs can help foster sustainable behavior, improve public support for conservation, reduce vandalism and poaching in protected areas, improve compliance with conservation regulations, increase recreation carrying capacities, and influence policies and decisions that affect the environment. Primate conservation problems cut across many disciplines, and primate conservation education must likewise address cross-disciplinary issues. Conservation educators must incorporate both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to develop effective programs, and the skill set must stretch beyond pedagogy. Expertise needed comes from the areas of planning, collaboration, psychology, entertainment, and evaluation. Integration of these elements can lead to greater program success.
保护教育目标通常包括影响人们的保护意识、态度和行为。有效的项目可以帮助培养可持续的行为，提高公众对保护的支持，减少保护区的破坏和偷猎，提高对保护法规的遵守，增加娱乐活动的承载能力，并影响影响环境的政策和决策。灵长类动物保护问题涉及许多学科，灵长类动物保护教育也必须解决跨学科问题。保护教育工作者必须将理论和实践知识和技能结合起来，制定有效的计划，技能必须超出教学法。所需的专业知识来自规划、合作、心理学、娱乐和评估领域。这些元素的整合可以带来更大的项目成功。
