The Bachelors urgently need a new tunnel for direct access to the outside enclosure PDF Print E-mail

Outside tunnel

This is outside tunnel used for both groups. The new tunnel would lie to the left of this one.

Life has become a little complicated recently with our growing family of chimps. At the moment the bachelor group are sharing an access tunnel with the family group so that both groups can have access to the outside enclosure. This works well until one of the family group members has a bad day and decides they don’t want to go outside. This means that the bachelor group are stuck inside too. Please help us raise funds for a new access tunnel so that the bachelor group can have direct access to the outside enclosure whenever they need. Many thanks for your support. You can donate by Justgiving or PayPal.

Bongo Sara and NicoCome and join us at our sanctuary near Girona in Northern Spain for a volunteering holiday that will change your life and help us rescue more primates in need. We are offering a unique experience where guests gain a wonderful insight into the daily lives of our rescued primates. We are one of the only primate rescue centres outside of Africa where you get the unique opportunity to experience working with chimpanzees and our barbary macaques. 

During their stay, guests will be made to feel part of our dedicated team of primate caregivers and they will help out with every type of task involved in the daily care of our rescued primates. Guests can either stay in a hotel or youth hostel in the nearby medieval city of Girona and then spend from  two to four days working at the primate rescue centre.
