One of the prin­ci­pal dan­gers for pri­ma­tes is their poa­ching to con­su­me their meat. The adults are killed, cut to pie­ces, and smo­ked ( so their meat lasts lon­ger), often in front of the offs­pring that have been snat­ched from their mother.

Becau­se the offs­pring don’t have enough meat, they are sold in the ille­gal pet trade.

That hap­pe­ned to this little one that at this moment is in poor con­di­tion in the CRPL, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, in the DRCongo.

From our side of the glo­be what we can do is not con­su­me this type of meat when we tra­vel to pla­ces whe­re pri­ma­tes live and NEVER have or try to adopt a mon­key as a pet.

We’ll keep you infor­med about what we can do to help pri­ma­tes all around the world.

If you con­tri­bu­te to SOS Pri­ma­tes for 1 euro a month through the Tea­ming plat­form, you’ll help this and other primates.
