Conservation in the wild...

Destruction of their natural habitat:  
Encroachment into their territories in the wild and destruction of their natural
habitats are interrupting their ability to successfully co-exist with us and live as
nature intended. As a result they are being forced into human environments
where they must revert to raiding crops for survival. We must find solutions to
reverse the damage we're doing and we must become more pro-active in
preserving our natural resources.       

Human encroachment:
Encroachment into their habitats, depletion of their natural food sources and the
pollution of their waters are forcing them into human areas.
They are killed for raiding human crops'  when there's nothing else for them to
eat.

Bush meat trade:
In addition to killing our closest non-human relatives for profit & for food
consumption, some kill just for the sport of it. Some just  to have a momentum
such as a Gorilla hand ash tray, or fur pelt to hang on the wall.

Illegal pet trade:
While illegal, primates are still poached from their countries of origin due to the
tremendous profit from the illegal sale of Infant monkey's, who are ripped from
the dying arms of their mothers who are killed during the abduction. Many infants
never survive the grueling trip into civilization.
Sadly, the trade of bush meat
will continue to flourish until
hunters are provided with other
viable options to make a living.

In the wild, the sky is the limit for endless acrobatic
exploration & play. It is the "Freedom place" where primates
were meant to live out their lives & to flourish. --Polly Schultz
