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 [...]

From SOS Primates we manage equipment donations from the Barcelona Zoo, and we've already sent material to many countries like Kenia, where the staff of the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, of [...]
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. [...]

Particularly, orangutans suffer deforestation for oil palm production, present in more than a half of the products that we consume in our daily life( [...]

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 [...]
