University of Georgia Research Retirees
These seven monkeys from the University of Georgia (UGA) arrived in June 2014 after months of planning. UGA has proven to be a role model for other universities by contributing and helping us to raise funds for the monkeys' ongoing care. Together we have raised funds to build the monkeys' habitats, including the purchase of a new property next door on which to build them. These boys can expect to have more than 20 years at Jungle Friends. Won't you donate to set them up for life? Get more details in our proposal.
