Organizaciones dedicadas a la conservación de primates en peligro de extinción

BIOPARC Valencia actively dedicates itself to the conservation of endangered primates by housing over 6,000 animals from some 150 African species, many of which are threatened. The park participates in international breeding programs for the protection of these species, contributing to their survival and the promotion of biodiversity.

BIOPARC Fuengirola is dedicated to the conservation of endangered primates, housing eight primate species and participating in European breeding programs. The park conducts ex situ conservation and, through its foundation, supports in situ conservation in native habitats, working on the recovery of injured animals and captive breeding for later release.

BIOPARC Gijón actively dedicates itself to the conservation of endangered primates through the BIOPARC Foundation, participating in research projects and preservation programs. The center emphasizes the importance of establishing global agreements for the protection of threatened species, such as chimpanzees, and houses primate species within its facilities.

This center is crucial for primate conservation in Chile, being the only one of its kind in the country, dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of monkeys victimized by illegal trafficking. It provides a safe haven and an enriched environment for approximately 150 primates, many of whom are endangered due to hunting and illicit trade.

IUCN is crucial for the conservation of endangered primates through its Red List of Threatened Species, which identifies and classifies the threat status of these species. Its work provides the scientific foundation for global conservation strategies, highlighting that groups such as great apes, gibbons, and lemurs are severely threatened.

The Centro Mexicano de Rehabilitación de Primates (CMRP) is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of Spider and Howler Monkeys, endangered species in Mexico. Its work is fundamental in combating illegal trafficking and the pet trade, offering a second chance to primates that have suffered abuse and ensuring their reintroduction into the wild.

Rainfer is a primate rescue and rehabilitation center actively combating the illegal wildlife trade, a major threat to primate populations. It provides a vital sanctuary for animals rescued from exploitation, offering them care, rehabilitation, and a second chance at a dignified life. Its work is fundamental to the conservation of endangered primates.

Neotropical Primate Conservation is dedicated to protecting threatened primates and their habitats across South and Central America. The organization implements conservation projects including land protection, research, and public awareness. It uses primates as flagship species to spearhead community conservation efforts in countries like Peru, Colombia, and Argentina.

This organization is dedicated to the conservation of Panama's nine primate species, many of which are threatened. It conducts crucial research into primate presence, density, and habitat, combining these efforts with environmental education programs to foster the protection of these animals and their ecosystems.

World Animal Protection actively engages in the conservation of endangered primates through rescue operations and legislative advocacy. The organization has rescued dozens of monkeys from the tourism industry in Indonesia and supports the Captive Primate Safety Act, which prohibits private primate possession to protect them from exploitation and abuse.
