Noel Rowe grew up in Cincinnati, worked at the Cincinnati Zoo as a young man, and his family has a long history of supporting the local environment – in fact, Rowe Woods at the Cincinnati Nature Center is named after his grandfather.
For his adult life, Noel Rowe has worked diligently for the protection of primates and, as he tells the Cincinnati Zoo’s Thane Maynard, his organization, Primate Conservation Inc, still has work to do.
