Today, because of the #WorldChimpanzeeDay, we have been in the Zoo Aquarium of Madrid and in the Barcelona Zoo gathering funds for the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, which shelters about 105 chimpanzees, for example, 'Kalima'. You can see photos of her before (when she arrived at the center) and after thanks to the care she receives there. [...]
This weekend we delivered the prizes of the SOS Primates raffles of March and June. Vanesa won the one of March, and many of our volunteers sent her the prize to the Fortunate Isles. By the way, if you go to Tenerife, we require help to ship material for our NGO. Aurora Pazos, SOS Primates' [...]
As you know, SOS Primates was founded primarily to help CRPL, Lwiro Primates, pues dos de los fundadores de nuestra ONG habían estado vinculados en diferentes periodos a dicho centro, colaborando in situ en diversas tareas.. That’s because two of our organisation’s founders had links with this centre at different times, collaborating on various in [...]
Another threat that primates face is exploitation in the entertainment industry ( television, films, circuses, or photos with them prior to payment). They demand offspring for this, which is cruel due to the fact that said offspring are acquired by killing the mother or separating them from her at an early age so they are [...]
We have become astonished these days by the news that people in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada pay money from their homes to torturers in Indonesia, so they hurt macaque offspring, and film the extremely brutal torture. We won’t play the films here, nor will share any images, because in SOS Primates we consider that [...]

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 [...]
