International primate protection league

They also operate a sanctuary for gibbons (the smallest of the apes) in South Carolina and support primate rescue efforts worldwide, especially in countries where primates are native. Their goal is to keep these uniquely threatened animals safe from human cruelty, negligence, and exploitation, envisioning a world where all primates can thrive in their native habitats.

The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GRP) and WARF aims to repopulate the island of

Reintroductions remain a relatively new division of conservation movement as well as uncharted terrain for research. GRP also works to end the demand for the illegal use of gibbons as tourist attractions and as pets, the GRP hopes to create awareness of the plight of gibbons and to the role that tourism plays in the demand for baby gibbons.
