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
completed a 1,000m
swim for Wild Futures in
November 2022, raising
over £650 for the Save Our
Sanctuary appeal – thank
you Eden!
• Long-term supporter and
adopter Karl ran a 10K for
Wild Futures in January
2023. He raised an amazing
£270 for our charity – thank
you so much Karl!
Karl
• Wild Futures Ambassador
William did a sponsored hike
benefitting Wild Futures in
December 2022 and, whilst
hiking, he also did a litter
pick. William raised over
£215! Such a wonderful way
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.

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

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.
If you would like to find out more about
how you can help Wild Futures, please send

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.
