The Monkey Sanctuary Trust

The Monkey Sanctuary Trust is a unique environmental charity located in Looe, Cornwall. The charity is dedicated to promoting the welfare, conservation and survival of primates, particularly woolly monkeys, working to end abuse of primates and conserving natural habitats.

The sanctuary is home to a social colony of woolly monkeys and a small 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.
