A note from

our Director

Our work as Wild Futures is a part of a larger ecosystem

of charities, NGO’s, communities, governments, societies

and individuals. Whatever we do affects the environment

of which we are all a part. The welfare of the individual

monkey, rescued from the cruel pet trade, reminds us that the individuals still

living in the forests are as important as the species they represent. Compassionate conservation

strives to balance individual welfare with the bigger picture.

The UNEP Conference on Biodiversity, or CoP 15, held recently in Canada, saw a coming

together of countries, in recognition of and to address the biodiversity crisis that our planet is

currently experiencing. 186 Parties have signed up to the convention on biological diversity –

our species knows that this is really important.

The Conference ended with agreement on 23 targets, including to:

Needle

• Protect 30% world’s lands, inland waters, coastal areas and oceans,

• Restore 30% degraded ecosystems,

• Reduce to net zero loss of important ecosystems,

• Cut food waste, over consumption and waste generation,

• Reduce subsidies that harm biodiversity,

• New targets for biodiversity funding,

• Raise international financial flows from developed to developing countries,

• Prevent and mitigate damage to biodiversity by invasive alien species,

• Require transparency of corporate and financial institutions on their impact on biodiversity.

Wild Futures promotes an ethos that we can all be a part of this – we each have a part, every

day, in the choices we make, underpinned by a compassion for the living world. As a social

species, we primates can understand how our actions affect those around us.

All of our futures depend on us making a difference on a daily basis. As we say goodbye to

the last of the ESC volunteers, we know that many are now long term friends who believe in

the possible wherever they are in the world. Wild Futures is proud that we have been a part of

their journey and we now look forward to creating new friendships as we share our work as

we refocus our volunteer programme.

We have taken a huge knock to our sustainability in the last couple of years and are hugely grateful

to all our supporters who continue to join us in our mission to protect primates and habitats.

Floss’ Story

In January 2022, we rescued four

long-tailed macaques from the UK

primate pet trade. One of those

macaques, Floss, had had quite the

journey before she was finally rescued

by Wild Futures.

Floss

We were first notified about this group

of macaques when their owner got in

touch. They didn’t feel that they could

properly care for them any longer. We

began the process of converting one of

our existing enclosures to be suitable

for their arrival, as well as planning the

logistics of rescuing these monkeys. The

cage in which they were kept in the pet

trade was in someone’s garden; it was

small, dark, cold and was minimally

furnished. Macaques had been on this

site for around 12 years, and some

of them were even born in this cage,

living their entire life there. Prior to this

they had been bought from another

individual who took in ex-lab monkeys,

to either keep as pets or sell on into the

trade. This is sadly all too common in

the UK.

At the time of their rescue

we had assumed that all the

macaques had been born

onsite due to the ages and little

information that the owner

provided. We were told that

Floss was around nine years

old and had lived there her

whole life. However, during

her initial health check at The Monkey

Sanctuary, it became apparent that Floss

was one of those original monkeys who

had come from a laboratory. During

the vet examination we were shocked

to discover a tattoo on her thigh - an

identification number from the lab. We

sadly do not know how long she was

in the lab for, or what experiments she

was forced to endure, but we can now

estimate that she is at least 12 or 13

years old.

The identification tattoo on Floss’ thigh

When she first arrived at The Monkey

Sanctuary, Floss had difficulty moving

around on some of the branches, beams

and ropes – as she had never had the

opportunity to do this before.

Floss

In her previous home, she had a

concrete floor and a few logs to

climb on, so she was unable to

develop any mobility skills. She was

determined though, and, with a bit

of practise she eventually mastered

the art of climbing and balancing.

Now she loves to climb to the very top

of her enclosures to see what is going

on all across the site, and if she spots

a member of the primate care team in

the distance, she will let out a few food

calls to let them know that she is hungry

and eagerly expecting some food!

Although we do not know Floss’ exact

age and origins, we do know that she

is an elderly monkey. Despite this, she

is still the alpha female of her little

group of macaques, and she is well

respected in this role. She can be quite

assertive, especially when it comes to

her favourite thing – food! Overall, in

her time here at The Monkey Sanctuary,

Floss has progressed really well and is

finally able to relax and spend her time

doing whatever she chooses, whether

that be sunbathing with her friends or

foraging for some tasty snacks.

Fantastic

Fundraisers

Since launching the Save Our

Sanctuary appeal, we have been

overwhelmed by the love and

support that so many of you have

shown us. Here is a quick shoutout

to some of our wonderful

supporters who have done some

fantastic fundraising for us over

the past few months:

• Seven-year-old Eden

to give to charity and also to

the environment – thank you

William!

William

• Ambassador Suzanne ran

an art sale for Wild Futures

on her Instagram account,

selling her unique pieces in

support of our appeal and

raised £100 in total – thank

you Suzanne!

Volunteer Profile:

Frances

How and when did you first get involved

with Wild Futures?

I arrived at Wild Futures’ Monkey

Sanctuary in March 2019 and have been

volunteering regularly ever since. Luckily,

I live down the road from the monkeys

and after having a rather dull couple

of years, I was looking for a change,

a good experience, and somewhere

to work alongside others who share

similar interests. I’ve always loved caring

for animals, and my mum suggested

volunteering at the sanctuary - I’m glad I

took her advice!

What does a day volunteering at Wild

Futures look like?

I really do look forward to my days at

the sanctuary every week, making all the

different foods for the monkeys, getting

creative to keep these intelligent primates

occupied by hiding treats in recycled

pots and boxes etc. Having a laugh with

the amazing staff and fellow volunteers

around me whilst working hard to keep

the sanctuary maintained. I even enjoy

getting stuck in to the essential dirty

work of cleaning enclosures. I’m happy

knowing how much all this helps make

the monkeys lives that bit better. And

I’m always learning something new!

Chopping food for the monkey’s lunch

What challenges have you faced whilst

volunteering at Wild Futures?

As I have been a volunteer for a while I

am often the one to teach new volunteers

the jobs we do here at Wild Futures.

Teaching is just one of the many things

I have learned, which I value from my

time here. Another is speaking in public,

although I’m shy, I really do enjoy giving

visitors talks about the rescued monkeys

and the UK primate pet trade - it is very

rewarding.

Frances picking leaves for the monkeys

Working around these rescued monkeys

has enlightened my view on primates

(and other animals) on what it means to

be kept in captivity…and whether they

should be at all.

What inspires you to volunteer?

The monkeys and what they have been

through as a result of being kept as a pet,

is enough to keep me supporting the

charity. Also other things, like being at

such a unique place. Where else are you

going to find a large mid-19th century

Gothic house within which live the most

amazing people that care for monkeys

and wildlife, perched on the cliffs of

Cornwall!?

Making enrichment for the monkeys

I also have a deep connection with the

place, living nearby all my life, and my

parents and grandparents lives before

me. It’s important to keep it alive. And

I often say, this place is a sanctuary for

monkeys and humans alike.

What do you hope to achieve in the

future?

Though it is such a unique place, it would

be best if it didn’t have to exist for rescuing

monkeys. If it didn’t have to rescue

them from being pets, if it didn’t have to

campaign against primate cruelty and the

legal UK primate pet trade, and if it didn’t

have to strive to protect the habitats in

which primates live. That is the future that

I hope to help Wild Futures achieve!

Farewell to the

European Solidarity Corps

After six years and 700 volunteers

from 20 countries, we are sadly saying

goodbye to the European Solidarity

Corps (ESC) volunteer programme.

Throughout this time, we have made so

many friends. We have seen volunteers

explore and discover their interests,

abilities and passions. With pride, we

have watched them go on to share

their experience with others, using

their knowledge and skills from the

programme in their job or placement.

ESC volunteers geared up and

ready to clean enclosures

The ESC volunteer programmes (formerly

the European Volunteer Scheme) are

by-products of the Erasmus project – a

grant-funded scheme offering 18-to-30

year olds, including those with fewer

opportunities, the chance to work in a

field of their interest. Placement lengths

varied from two, four, or eight weeks

all the way to 12 months. The year-long

programme was more intensive with

thorough training in one of the following

areas: Primate Care, Fundraising and

Administration, Site and Sustainability,

and Education.

The training programmes are approved

by a National Agency and audited

rigorously, before, during and after the

placements.

local beach clean

Participants came from across Europe.

While most hailed from the EU, some

also travelled from neighbouring

Partner countries, as well as the

UK. Wild Futures has always been

passionate about sharing our work

and seizing opportunities to educate

and learn from one another. Primate

welfare, conservation, sustainability

and education are at the heart of what

we do and it is a privilege to explore

these issues, both practically and

intellectually, with young people of

different backgrounds, experiences and

cultures.

Primate Care volunteer

Pablo feeding the monkeys

Covid-19 threatened to derail the ESC

programme altogether, over two years,

hundreds of placements were lost due

to lockdown measures. Fortunately, an

agreed upon extension gave volunteers

a chance to fulfil their projects once

restrictions were lifted.

Sadly, and contrary to the advised

expectations, the UK Government

declined to remain within the ESC

programme as a Partner country. The

last of the contracted projects expired at

the end of January 2023.

The ESC funding enabled the charity

to provide an educational training

programme of which we can be proud.

There are now many members of the

extended Wild Futures family who, with

thanks to European Solidarity Corps,

were given the opportunity to learn

new practical and social skills and have

taken that experience around the world.

A huge thanks to all of our wonderful

volunteers who devoted their time and

energy for the monkeys!

Education volunteer Anna

with her wildlife sign

Here is what a few of our ESC volunteers

said about the programme:

“My time at the Sanctuary was one of

the happiest moments of my life.”

“My experience at The Monkey

Sanctuary has inspired me to pursue a

career in primate conservation, whether

that’s sanctuary care, rehabilitation,

fundraising or administration – we

are all working for the protection of

primates.”

“I regularly bring up the placement

with my colleagues or clients. It was

a highly valuable and immersive

experience. It helped my confidence,

communication and team work skills.”

“It made me reconsider the ethics

behind the work and it adapted me to

working with a wide variety of people.”

Monkey

Brooches

Artist Daisy Jordan, a former

volunteer with us, is selling 4

brooch designs in aid of Wild

Futures. Each design depicts a

species of monkey that lives here

at The Monkey Sanctuary and all

proceeds go to our appeal. So far

she has managed to raise £270 –

thank you Daisy!

Daisy’s work is beautiful, and

if you fancy buying one of her

brooches for yourself, you can do

so via her Etsy shop - just search

for ‘TheScampDen’ and select

the woolly monkey, marmoset,

capuchin, or macaque and the

proceeds from your brooch will

come to us!

Save our Sanctuary

Update

In 2022 Wild Futures was faced with

the devastating reality of having to

launch an emergency appeal to help

Save our Sanctuary. The outpouring

of love and kindness we received

in response has been nothing short

of incredible. Despite the current

situation of the cost-of-living crisis that

is affecting so many people, donations

to help the monkeys came flooding in.

In the first three months of the appeal,

we have raised over £85,000 in

donations from supporters and the

general public alone, and we cannot

say thank you enough to every single

person that has donated.

Food Donation

and sanctuary can survive long term. In

January we received a grant of $25,000

from a charitable trust in America which

takes our total to over £100,000 raised

in just four months. We are determined

to come through this, to continue

providing a home for life to the rescued

monkeys that live at the sanctuary and

continue rescuing monkeys from the

cruel pet trade, and we know with your

continued help we can do it!

Art auction poster by a supporter

From people giving one-off donations,

to setting up monthly donations,

sending food parcels for the monkeys,

organising fundraisers, doing

sponsored swims and runs, organising

art auctions, donating proceeds of their

business sales, to the letters and phone

calls of love we have received – each

one makes a huge difference.

The money you have donated so far

has been fundamental in helping

us continue caring for the monkeys

through the winter. However, sadly, we

are still at risk.

We are working tirelessly to source

income from other areas, such as

grants and trusts, and rebuilding our

corporate support to ensure our home

SAVE THE DATE!

We are running a matched funding

campaign between the 14th and

28th March. With HUGE thanks

to the Olsen Animal Trust and

Freedom for Animals we have

£15,000 of matched funding. Any

donation made to us during those

14 days will be doubled up to

£15,000 – meaning we can raise a

total of £30,000 in just two weeks!!

Please keep a close eye on our

socials @wildfutures for more

information and how to donate!

Thank you to the Olsen Animal

Trust and Freedom for Animals for

your incredible generosity.

The Monkey Sanctuary Update

in the pet trade, she was eager to enjoy

life and make the most out of every day.

She was always on the go, keeping busy

with foraging, peeking at her neighbours

to see what they were up to, or playing

with her siblings. She was a big lover

of food and would always do the most

beautiful trilling ‘songs’ to let everyone

know just how happy she was with

her snack – especially for her favourite

– boiled egg whites! We all miss her

dearly, but remember her fondly.

Beattie

It has been a while since we have been

able to update you on everything that

has been going on at The Monkey

Sanctuary, so there is quite a lot of

ground to cover!

In July 2022, we rescued a blackcapped

capuchin called Alfie from the

UK primate pet trade. Since his arrival,

Alfie has been progressing excellently

throughout his rehabilitation process.

He is a very enthusiastic individual who

loves having new challenges thrown his

way. He is currently living with Jackie

and Boo Boo, and all three of them are

delighted with their new group. They

spend lots of time together, foraging

and grooming. Alfie is still learning his

social skills, but the girls are happy to

correct him whenever he steps out of

line!

In the latter part of 2022 we were finally

able to complete the new marmoset

build - dubbed the ‘Marmoset Manor’!

You may remember that we fundraised

for this build back in December 2019

but the COVID-19 pandemic forced

the project to be put on hold. Finally,

Alfie

this year we were able to finish the

project and move six of the marmosets

into the new build. Jeff, Tilly, Frodo,

Pippin, Needle and Sprout have

all really enjoyed settling into their

new enclosures and have been busy

exploring the new space.

Marmoset Manor

Sadly, Beattie the marmoset passed

away at the end of 2022 following a

short illness. Her siblings, Finley and

Freya, are coping well and we are

keeping a close eye on them. Beattie

was a charismatic, feisty little monkey

who didn’t hold back! Despite her time

The long-tailed macaques had two

more enclosures added to their territory

– which they have all thoroughly

enjoyed. Chico also enjoyed watching

them explore the new space as they

gave out lots of happy grunts – he even

got a few teeth-chatters from alpha Tom

(a friendly gesture between macaques).

The woolly monkeys have been busy

foraging each day, making the most of

the variety that each season provides.

Every year we have a few resident ducks

that return to our gardens and pond to

have their ducklings, and they usually

make quite a bit of noise – which the

woollies are very unimpressed with.

The woollies can get a full view of the

gardens and pond by climbing to the

tops of the trees, so they will often give

the ducks and ducklings a good telling

off for all of their noisy antics!

The UK Primate Pet Trade

Shockingly, in 2023, it is still legal

to keep primates as pets in the UK.

Primates are wild animals inherently

unsuitable for domestic settings; they

are built perfectly for survival in their

natural habitats, and are not suited to

lives of confinement and solitude. Wild

Futures has been fighting to change

the legislation around this, and make

ownership illegal, for over 20 years. In

those two decades, we have experienced

first-hand the devastating effects that the

pet trade can have on individuals. Since

2001, we have rescued over 60 primates,

rehabilitating them at our sanctuary in

Cornwall, whilst battling on to prevent

any further suffering in the pet trade.

The current legislation for keeping

primates as pets in the UK offers minimal

protection for the welfare of these

animals. Many species of primates require

a Dangerous Wild Animals Act License

(DWAA) in order to keep them, however,

some species, such as marmosets and

tamarins, require no license at all.

The DWAA license is intended to ensure

the safety of humans when dangerous

wild animals are being kept privately,

and takes minimal consideration for

their welfare, which is covered by the

Animal Welfare Act. The high rate of noncompliance

to DWAA licencing laws

surrounding privately owned primates

allows the possibility of monkeys living,

unnoticed and unregulated, within the

UK pet trade every year.

Wild Futures surveys all local authorities

in England, Scotland and Wales on an

annual basis, requesting statistics of

DWAA licences issued, specifically for

primates. Each year we see just how

poorly this legislation is regulated - from

primates being approved to be housed

alone despite being a clear violation of

the Animal Welfare Act, to tiny indoor

bird cages being authorised as a suitable

environment.

Kiwi and Gizzie’s previous home

Often taken from their mothers and

families as infants, many are forced to

live a life of isolation and confusion,

denied the opportunity to interact with

others of their own kind, or to even learn

to climb, forage and groom. We see an

extremely high proportion of individuals

rescued from the pet trade suffering with

physical and psychological problems,

often manifesting as behavioural issues

such as pacing and self-mutilation. Most

Kiwi and Gizzie’s home was approved for a DWAA license

of these will never go away despite years

of rehabilitation.

Using data from our rescued monkeys

and our annual research, Wild Futures

works tirelessly to influence politicians

and legislation, as well as to inform the

public about the cruel and damaging

impact of the trade. The Animal Welfare

(Kept Animals) Bill aims to provide

new licensing requirements to ensure

that primates welfare. Needs are being

met by private owners. The legislation

will restrict private keeping to licensed,

‘specialist keepers’, who adhere to

‘zoo-level welfare’. The proposed Kept

Animals Bill is a considerable step closer

to our goal, but it is not the final goal.

Unfortunately, the proposed new bill has

stalled in the process to become law, but

we are keeping the pressure on to make

it a priority once more! We will not stop

until it is illegal to keep primates as pets

in the UK.

Looking for a way to re-use some of

your plastic waste and work on your

gardening skills at the same time?

Transform a used plastic bottle into a

herb garden! It’s a great way to save

money on groceries and get back in

touch with nature – without even

needing a garden or green space. It

is also an easy way to get children

interested in growing things.

For Your D.I.Y

Herb Garden

You Will Need

1 Litre Plastic Water Bottle

Pen

Scissors

String

Ruler

Potting Soil

Herb Seeds

Instructions

Heres how:

1. Cut two pieces of string that are the

same length as the bottle from cap to

base

..............................................................

2. Measure halfway from the bottom of

the bottle and mark it with the pen, then

cut around this line so that the bottle is

in half.

..............................................................

3. Using the top half of the bottle, make

four small holes around the neck, evenly

spread out, about 1 cm below the cap.

..............................................................

4. Thread one piece of string through

two of the holes and the other piece of

string through the remaining two holes.

Fill the bottom of the bottle with water

and place the top piece into the bottom

half, with the cap facing down. The

strings should be hanging into the water.

..............................................................

5. Put the potting soil into the top bottle

piece, but only fill half way!

Add a few seeds and then a little bit

more soil on top, pat it down gently.

Place the bottle in a sunny spot and top

up the water whenever it gets low.

The string will soak up the water into the

soil, watering the seeds as they grow!

sent food donations, adopted a monkey, sent

letters of support, undertaken challenges to

raise money for the monkeys and more –

none of it goes unnoticed and we cannot say

thank you enough. A detailed update on how

our appeal is going can be found on page 6.

I would like to Gift Aid my donations to increase the value of all donations I have made for the past 4 years, today and all future donations until I

notify you otherwise. I confirm that I have paid or will pay an amount of Income Tax and / or Capital Gains Tax for each year (6 April to 5 April) that is

at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or CASCs* that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes

such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.
