Appro­xi­ma­tely 600 spe­cies of pri­ma­tes face a cha­llen­ging futu­re. A lar­ge por­tion of the­se spe­cies are threa­te­ned by human impact. Without going any further, two of the pro­jects SOS pri­ma­tes sup­ports this year are a clear exam­ple: the LPRC, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, in DRCon­go, hou­ses orphan pri­ma­tes from the bush­meat tra­de, ille­gal pet tra­de and habi­tat loss due to popu­la­tion increa­se and war.

At the Jaguar Res­cue Cen­ter (JRC) in Cos­ta Rica, pri­ma­tes that have suf­fe­red elec­tro­cu­tion at power trans­mis­sion towers, habi­tat loss and poa­ching for ille­gal pet tra­de are also housed.

Our NGO attem­pts to do their sha­re to sup­port them. The past 1st of Sep­tem­ber we were at Zoo de Bar­ce­lo­na sha­ring infor­ma­tion about our work and fun­drai­sing. We thank the zoo for its sup­port and the staff for always colla­bo­ra­ting with us, in addi­tion to the guests that came to meet us.
