"Provide the best possible care to orphaned primates in DRC, while working to ensure their protection in the wild"
HELP US TO SAVE LIVES
Our biggest challenge is to find funds to care of these victims of poaching and pet trade. Every dollar counts to make a difference in their life.
Without your generosity this project would not be possible!

GOODS IN KIND
The sanctuary uses many tools, different kinds of equipment, computers, educational resources, medications and more on a daily basis. While we prefer to source in-country, this is not always possible. If you have access items which you believe may be of use to the CRPL, please send us an email.
