Why should you join?
Years of intensive hunting for the bushmeat trade have decimated primate populations throughout this region - if we don't act now some of these species could disappear forever. At CERCOPAN we are rehabilitating guenons and mangabeys - 6 species altogether, with long term plans for restore vital primate communities in the region. Rescued 'byproducts' of the trade in bushmeat, these primates are rehabilitated into social groups and act as ambassadors for conservation of their species in our education programme - some will eventually be reintroduced - some are the only individuals in captivity anywhere in the world.
