International Primate Rescue UK

We support international work with orphaned, homeless and/or captive nonhuman exotic primates. International Primate Rescue was launched in South Africa in March 1996 in response to numerous requests to house unwanted primates.

The demand for homes for these primates is greater than ever today. Please browse this website to get an idea of our work. We hope that you will be willing to support us.

The picture on this page is of Honey, a common squirrel monkey who came to the IP Rescue sanctuary after being kept illegally as a pet. To find out more about individual monkeys now being cared for at the sanctuary, go to the picture gallery. 

For more information about sponsoring a monkey see this page, or go here for a leaflet.
