The donations help get the feeding of the more than 200 primates of the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, among which [...]
This weekend, we celebrated International Primate Day (the next 1st of September) in advance at three zoological institutions. They gave us a space to raise awareness, share information and get donations for the CRPL, Lwiro Primates, in DR Congo. On Saturday, we were at the Zoobotánico Jerez, where we had [...]

You are part of our desire to help other primate rehabilitation centres and/or sanctuaries, as the conservation of primate species is something [...]
We would like to stop advertising masks for donations, which would mean that the pandemic is over, but unfortunately, it is still here and we must continue to protect ourselves. If at the same time you protect yourself and those around you, you want to help the women with functional diversity who make these masks [...]
The CRPL, Lwiro Primates, not only houses 98 chimpanzees orphaned as a result of bushmeat consumption and pet trade but also more than 105 cercopithecine primates of 13 different species (commonly known as monkeys).
