Rescue - Social Isolation
Monkeys and baboons are extremely social animals. It is unnatural for them to live on their own. In the wild females stay in the troop they are born into for life, whilst males join with other males or integrate themselves into neighbouring troops as they mature. The psychological trauma the primates we rescue have suffered in enforced isolation in captivity begins to be overcome during the rehabilitation phase when each rescued primate is integrated into a new family troop with other rescues and is completed when they are released back to the wild and are totally free.
