On these days of shipping, we always require those of you who help us transport the SOS Primates material. Since we founded our NGO in 2012 we have tried to minimize the costs of said material delivery. We need to send calendars to Tenerife and Granada, piggy banks to Alicante, and lotteries that we'll produce soon. [...]
Another serious threat that primates suffer is the deforestation of lands for self-consumption or extensive crops (human population in 2000 was 6 million and in 2022 it increased to 8 million). Particularly, orangutans suffer deforestation for oil palm production, present in more than a half of the products that we consume in our daily life( [...]
Today SOS Primates participated in the V Fira Animalista de Cornellà, organized by Adacc Cornella. We shared information and gathered funds for the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in the DRCongo. We'd like to thank the people that approached us to meet us, the excellent organization, the SomnNia pels animals association that donated money, and our [...]
Do you store a big suitcase you no longer use? If so, contact us at info@sosprimates.org We are still sending uniforms of the Barcelona Zoo to the workers of the rehabilitation centers and primate sanctuaries sheltering African primates as well as others from all around the world. You'll give a second life to your [...]
Today we’d like to present you the storybook “Mariposario” (Butterfly Garden), written by the veterinary Sara Férnandez Lores. Each story brings us closer to the multiple realities endured by the animals that share their life with us. Some stories are cheerful, while others are very sad, like those about abandoned animals, but all of them [...]
CRPL, Lwiro Primate's work is not limited to the rehabilitation and sheltering of orphan primates that have arrived after being confiscated by authorities, like Rosie and Kalima, in the photo. Any conservation project must also develop awareness and educational activities in schools, for they are the future, and the adult population of the area shouldn't [...]
Our program of piggy banks in collaborative institutions implies a constant source of donations, for which we are very thankful to the establishments that allow us to place the piggy banks as well as the people that function as connectors and their coordinator, Marta Prieto. Today we'd like to thank Animal Sapiens, a chain of shops [...]
Today we'd like to thank two people who are very immersed in animal protection, Mònica Martín and Xavier Gallego, from Sant Feliu de Guíxols in Girona. They help us with diverse activities, like piggy banks and SOS Primates markets ( they are in Vilablareix some weekends a month). As you can see they are really creative: they made us artificial [...]
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 [...]
There are many people that contribute their time, energy, and resources to SOS Primates. Like Guillem, that fabricates handmade thread bands for us. They all vary in color and size and are beautiful. What we gather with them we destine for the food expenses of the more than 200 orphan primates of the Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center [...]
