The big-nosed, small-eyed proboscis monkey has seen an unlikely surge in popularity thanks to memes. And this, says biologist Magdalena Lenda, could help protect other endangered species. Lenda from the Institute of Nature Conservation of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Queensland checked how the appearance of a given animal can affect the popularity of fundraisers for the protection of a given species. Traditionally, it is easier to raise funds for protecting animals considered beautiful such as pandas, koalas and tigers. But an exception to the rule has emerged in Poland, with the the proboscis monkey Nasalis larvatus.

Studies of conservation strategies for two endangered primates — the proboscis monkey from Borneo and the aye aye lemur native to Madagascar — show the surprisingly powerful influence of public attitudes towards less photogenic creatures at risk of extinction. September 1 marks International Primate Day , an opportunity to take a look at how conservationists can best raise the profiles of less-loved primates. Both males and females have conspicuous noses, but sexual dimorphism differences in shape, size or colour between the sexes also results in dominant males with pot bellies, piggy eyes and a vivid red penis contrasting against a black scrotum: none of which induce impressions of beauty, majesty or cuteness — the usual criteria for public affection. Researchers explored the possibility of raising public interest in conserving this curiously ugly monkey through spreading amusing internet memes — images of the monkey with text linking its appearance to Polish jokes and cultural references — within social media and in conservation marketing. The team then monitored the interest in proboscis monkeys versus conservation superstars such as koalas and gorillas by analysing public donations made to related conservation campaigns.

In his book, The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins first formulated the idea of a meme to describe an idea or behaviour that quickly passes from person to person. Today, the internet facilitates an individual in sharing their memes to vast audiences across the world. These often humorous images are embellished with a short captions and usually reflect social ideas and current events of the time. Consequently, memes hold great power for education and bringing about positive action. In their recent paper , published in Conservation Biology, Magdelena Lenda and colleagues ask whether memes can help in the quest to encourage the protection of less appealing species? Charismatic animals such as tigers, pandas and whales, adorn the posters of WWF appeals, National Geographic and television adverts and are readily supported by a public emotionally primed by the latest David Attenborough film.
