Today we were at the V Fira Animalista de Mataró 2022 (in Barcelona). There we placed our stand to give out information and gather funds for the primates of the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, like 'Etima' and 'Byaombe'( in the photos). Thank you so much to the organization SOS Animals Catalunya for [...]
Today we celebrated International Primate Day(IPD, September 1st) in the Barcelona Zoo and the Zoo Aquarium de Madrid. It's been a hectic day, but we're glad to have shared information about SOS Primates and its compromise with CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thank you very much to those who approached our stand, to the [...]
Today is the International Primate Day! We'd like to share an important reflection on this special day; how can you help primates? Not everything is about doing voluntary work in Africa or taking a course at home. A small gesture, like not changing the phone when a new model is out, is a big contribution. [...]
Today we bring you bad news... The orphan primates 'Bajop' and 'Jeje' arrived at the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in April this year. They were extremely close and faced challenges together. 'Bajop' gave 'Jeje' support each moment, hugging him. When we had to take 'Jeje' ( that has a more fragile condition) to the veterinary center, 'Bajop' [...]
Today we'd like to show you our new bookmarks! They were designed exclusively for SOS Primates by our volunteer and friend Jennifer Fernández. The designs are inspired by different primate species (African, Asian, and Neotropical). She specifically chose the red-shanked douc, the howler monkey, the ring-tailed lemur, gibbons, and saimiris. You can request your own bookmark (for only [...]
All contributions to primates are welcome. If you know any veterinary center, pet shop, or location that allows us to place a piggy bank, contact us at info@sosprimates.org, and we'll find a way to send it to you. There have been more of you that help us with the transportation of piggy banks, calendars, or [...]

Are primates able to overcome their traumas? Like human beings, primates could possibly recover and build resilience from traumatic experiences; even if we can’t read their mind to know so. Because we work with them, we know it is highly possible… It’s incredible to watch ‘Gari’ (in the photo) playing with other chimps in the [...]
You know that the CRPL, Lwiro Primates (in the Democratic Republic of Congo), helps gray parrots recover; these parrots come from the illegal trade of species. Some weeks ago, another mild release was made; 18 parrots were placed in an acclimatization zone. Here they can enter and exit freely, and they are given food [...]
Animal rehabilitation is a miracle! Animals that arrive to the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, frequently experience physical or psychological deteriorations. For example, you can see in one of the pictures that 'Bolungwa' , one of the primates of the center, was tied to a street post before the technicians from the ICCN and CRPL found her. In the [...]
