The Monkey Sanctuary Trust

Giving monkeys a brighter future...

About Me



The Trust is based at The Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall, UK - home to a colony of woolly monkeys and a group of rescued ex-pet capuchin monkeys. The Trust provides advice and support for primate rescue centres around the world.

Each year the Trust educates thousands of visitors on monkey life in the wild and in captivity, on the ethics and problems of captivity, about ideas for rehabilitation as well as other animal welfare and conservation issues.

My Interests

The Monkey Sanctuary Trust is a unique environmental charity dedicated to:

- Promoting the welfare, conservation and survival of primates, particularly woolly monkeys.
- Working to end the primate trade and abuse of primates in captivity.
- Conserving natural habitats through education and sustainable living.
- Promoting the rehabilitation of primates to natural habitats.

I'd like to meet:


We would like to hear from others who care about wildlife and the environment, for the benefit of people, animals and the Earth.

If you are interested in finding out about any aspect of our work, from volunteering for us or helping the campaign against the primate pet trade, to adopting a monkey, please visit our website at www.monkeysanctuary.org for more information.
