Wild futures - Summer Appeal

It costs Wild Futures approximately £150,000 a year
to care for the monkeys and approximately
£30,000 a year to campaign against the trade
and carry out our vital education work.
We rely solely on our supporters to do this and are
launching an appeal to ask you to consider giving a
minimum pledge of £5 a month, or making a one off
donation to help towards our goal: to end the UK primate
pet trade, to raise awareness and educate people on
the plight of primates in the UK, and to continue to
provide a forever home for rescued monkeys.
Dear friend,
Thanks to your invaluable continued support we are able to give the best possible lifelong care to all of
the monkeys here at our sanctuary, as well as pursue our charitable aims to protect primates worldwide.
With your help, in the last year we have rescued 10 marmosets from the UK primate pet trade, we
have given funding to two projects overseas to help protect and conserve primates, and thanks to the
incredible response we had to our monkey welfare appeal last summer, we were able to provide Oliver,
Grips, Chico and Lodi with the unexpected emergency and extra veterinary care that they unfortunately
needed! We couldn’t have done all of that without you, so thank you!
DID YOU KNOW?
Pet monkeys often suffer appalling mental health issues as a result of being kept in captivity.
Monkeys often resort to comfort eating and even self harming as coping mechanisms.
Sadly there are still many monkeys living as pets in the UK that need our help. Wild Futures dream is
that one day we will no longer be needed to campaign against this awful trade and that there will be
no more primates suffering and needing rescue. However, that day is not today, and we are asking our
loyal friends and supporters to help us continue our vital work in bringing about an end to this trade and
providing a home for life for rescued monkeys.
However big or small, your donation WILL make a huge difference and help us continue to care for the
monkeys at our sanctuary, carry on the vitally important work we do in protecting primates and bring an
end to the keeping of primates as pets.
Thank you for your support.
