Little orphans need to rest and sleep for many hours, just like human primates. That is how they recover the energy to keep going. They also recover emotionally after the trauma of being snatched away from their mothers. You can see little Mazingira, in the photo, of the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, surrendering to Morfeo’s arms. She is clueless about the daily struggle of SOS Primates to get donations and help fund their feeding.
If you are one of those who still write postcards, we have some beautiful ones for you. Be careful about where you buy ones with primates’ faces on them. You should never buy ones of primates in photo studios, hugging plushies or hearts, wearing costumes or making funny faces, because they’re being exploited by the entertainment industry. Try and get postcards of animals in a natural setting, like ours. You can choose from 6 different types, each for a donation of 1.5 euros, and if you buy 6 you get another for free.
