Today we sha­re a video of the new arri­vals at CRPL, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes. Like all new arri­vals they are orphans of meat con­sum­ption. We never tire of sha­ring it: some local peo­ple pay for the meat for their con­sum­ption and the little ones are sold to ille­gal pet mar­kets, labo­ra­to­ries or pri­va­te zoo­lo­gi­cal collec­tions. SOS Pri­ma­tes is firmly against the kee­ping of pri­ma­tes as pets, for ethi­cal, scien­ti­fic and con­ser­va­tion reasons, among others.

Thanks to Kahu­zi-Bié­ga Natio­nal Park for sei­zing the­se little ones, a fema­le chim­pan­zee and a fema­le red-tai­led mon­key. You can vote for the name of the chim­pan­zee on the CRPL web­si­te,  Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes.
