And CERCOPAN is now in the envious position of being in good favour with supporters who love the works of up-and-coming wildlife artist Chris Wright from the more »
Rare Sclater’s Guenon Born at CERCOPAN

Born on the 20th July this year, we don’t even know whether our rare Sclater’s baby is a boy or a girl! It may take some time before we find out too, given Mum Uto is so protective of the youngster that she rarely lets the little one out of arm’s reach. The rest of her more »
PASA Reintroduction Workshop 2013

I might have been looking for a rest after the hard work of the PASA Managers Workshop (see article in this issue), but no chance!

When giving causes harm – never buy primates!

Quite a significant number of the orphan monkeys in our care are brought to us from expatriates living in the Southwest of Nigeria. The launch of our new website is the perfect times to reiterate a vital message to aid monkeys in the wild: Please, DO NOT PAY FOR A PRIMATE you see for sale.

Adopt

Adopting one of our monkey groups means that you will be providing a happy and fulfilled future to animals that can now forget their tragic pasts. Take Robotta as an example. Living at a petrol station for the first year of her life she did not even know how to be a monkey. She pecked more »

About

The place with the highest number of primate species on the entire African continent is an ancient rainforest in South-Eastern Nigeria. CERCOPAN strives to conserve this forest and to protect its monkeys because both are highly threatened. For effective results, we provide education and practical options for the local communities so that their dependence on the forests becomes sustainable rather than destructive. While hunting threats remain, we provide sanctuary and individual care for orphan monkeys, progressing through their rehabilitation to reintroduction, in suitable cases, into the forest we protect.
