Wild Futures

Wild Futures is a UK charity that runs The Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall, rescuing primates from neglect and campaigning to end the keeping of monkeys as pets.

Monkeys are intelligent, deeply social animals, and they suffer profoundly when kept alone as domestic pets. In the UK they can still end up isolated, poorly housed and in distress, while wild primate populations face mounting pressure from habitat loss. Wild Futures exists to give rescued animals a better life and to challenge the trade that harms them.

With roots going back to 1964, when The Monkey Sanctuary was founded to rescue woolly monkeys from the pet trade, the charity has grown into a recognised authority on primate welfare. From its Cornwall base it provides specialist, lifelong care in naturalistic enclosures where rescued monkeys can live socially, the way their nature demands.
