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 [...]

These days, temperatures have been extremely high for all of us. Even though climate change is regarded as inexistent, still its effects are palpable in the rise of temperature.  It not only affects us but also the primates living in their habitats. For example, it changes the distribution of vegetables that they feed upon. Also, [...]

Our answer is this one: When we contribute to a primate recovery center, we are also contributing to a local community's wellbeing. Both entities are necessary, essential, and dependent on each other. In [...]
