We alleviate the suffering of primates wherever it occurs by providing sanctuary or referral to appropriate facilities, and by working to end the trade of primates both in the United States and abroad. We also educate the public to the plight of primates caught in the breeder/dealer cycle, and assist researchers and zoo personnel in finding appropriate placement for surplus primates. We encourage compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and animal welfare statutes. We currently provide lifetime care for 11 chimpanzees and over 40 monkeys who have found a safe haven at the Primate Rescue Center.
