Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The Primate Rescue Center works to alleviate the suffering of primates wherever it occurs. Countless primates continue to be subjected to exploitive endeavors through the pet trade, biomedical institutions, and the entertainment industry. Without reputable sanctuaries like the Primate Rescue Center, these primates would have nowhere to turn to receive quality and compassionate lifetime care that includes healthy nutrition, safe and comfortable enclosures, engaging enrichment, and comprehensive medical care.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The PRC's main responsibility lies in providing enriched lifetime care to the 50+ nonhuman primate residents at our sanctuary. We continue to assist in the rescues and transports of needy animals, and thus it is important that we remain active advocates against the usage of primates in entertainment, laboratory research, and the pet trade. These are the industries in which primates are exploited, and it is due to these industries that they eventually come to us. Quite frankly, we look forward to the day when primate sanctuaries are no longer needed!

The PRC is a well-known source of information regarding the ethical treatment of nonhuman primates. As experts in the field of primate care, we are often working with the media and with legislators to continue improving the way primates are treated in this country. Although we are pleased with our broader reach, the PRC stays active in our local community. Throughout the year, staff members can be seen speaking at area schools and libraries to educate future generations on how to make the world a better one for all primates - human and nonhuman.

Although we care for many animals, the PRC is a lean organization, with a staff of less than 10 people. We are happy to have a group of volunteers and interns who help us on a daily basis. As a nonprofit organization, the scope of our work can be limited by the amount of funding we are able to procure. The PRC is determined to continue its lifesaving work as we take steps to continue to grow our leadership teams and make plans for the future. As always, what will guarantee the organziation's success is funding and manpower.

The PRC is proud to have provided sanctuary to many, many more primates than the 50+ currently in our care. As always, our ability to help more primates is limited by funding. As the public continues to support our work and reject the exploitation of primates in entertainment, laboratory research, and the exotic pet trade, we will be happy to continue rescuing and providing lifetime care to primates in need.
