Nearly 600 spe­cies of pri­ma­tes face an uncer­tain futu­re, with many threa­te­ned by human acti­vity. The two pro­jects sup­por­ted by SOS Pri­ma­tes this year are clear examples.

CRPL, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, in the Demo­cra­tic Repu­blic of Con­go, cares for orpha­ned pri­ma­tes affec­ted by bush­meat hun­ting, the ille­gal pet tra­de, habi­tat loss due to popu­la­tion growth, and ongoing conflict.

At the Jaguar Res­cue Cen­ter (JRC) in Cos­ta Rica, pri­ma­tes are trea­ted for inju­ries cau­sed by elec­tro­cu­tion from power lines, habi­tat des­truc­tion, and cap­tu­re for the pet trade.

At SOS Pri­ma­tes, we do our part to help. On Sep­tem­ber 1st, we were at the Bar­ce­lo­na Zoo sha­ring infor­ma­tion about our work and collec­ting donations.

We thank the zoo for their sup­port, their staff for their ongoing colla­bo­ra­tion, and all the visi­tors who came to learn more about our work.

In the pho­tos: Oli­via, a fema­le baboon befo­re arri­ving at CRPL, and Fiji, a young how­ler mon­key befo­re arri­ving at JRC.
