These days, temperatures have been extremely high for all of us. Even though climate change is regarded as inexistent, still its effects are palpable in the rise of temperature. It not only affects us but also the primates living in their habitats. For example, it changes the distribution of vegetables that they feed upon. Also, [...]
Are you one of the few that still don't have an SOS Primates shirt? Last year, we organized this campaign with the model Belén Matheu and the photographer Delia Hurtado. There are shirts available with the following characteristics: grey or black, straight or fitted (like the one Belén is wearing in the photo). Donation: 10 euros Orders at: [...]
We have ready prepared the Christmas Lottery and you can request it at info@sosprimates.org. As always, we offer you the possibility of sending it to you by certified mail (fees not included). Or we can guard it and fabricate you an attestation document. This year, the funds will be destined to Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC), in [...]
We've been asked why we help only primates when there are a lot of people with difficult situations. Our answer is this one: When we contribute to a primate recovery center, we are also contributing to a local community's wellbeing. Both entities are necessary, essential, and dependent on each other. In [...]
¿Did you know that modest organizations like ours can achieve great things? However, they require effort and a dedicated team... Last year, the amazing illustrator Pilarín Bayés made an exclusive design for SOS Primates. We printed it in these wonderful shirts, worn by Manolín's family(one of our loyal followers). They are available in earthly brown and light [...]
Today we celebrated Chimpanzee World Day at the Barcelona Zoo and the Zoo Aquarium of Madrid, where we gave out information about our work to help primate recovery centers in Africa. It was a fruitful day, in which many people came near our stand. We'd like to highlight one of them: Aitana. At only 12 [...]
#WorldChimpanzeeDay Today is Chimpanzee World Day, and in SOS Primates we want to highlight the efforts made so that they don't disappear from Earth. In the first place, the labour from African recovery centers and sanctuaries, which shelter hundreds of orphans each year (like the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in the photo). In the second place, scholars, that [...]
As you know, SOS Primates was founded primarily to help CRPL, Lwiro Primates. That’s because two of our organisation’s founders had links with this centre at different times, collaborating on various in situ projects. Our NGO has continued to grow. For 3 years, we have destined our calendar donations to different rescue centres or primate sanctuaries [...]
The decline of primate populations does not stop. The chimpanzee meat consumption and the traffic of their offspring for the pet market are only two causes. As our advertising campaign says, if this continues, the next generations will only be able to know them through images, souvenirs or stuffed animals... If you want to help [...]
