Mission Statement
IPPL is a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the world’s remaining primates, great and small. Our 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. We also offer advisory and financial support for activities that promote the well-being of monkeys and apes, both in the U.S. and overseas.
Description
Since 1973, we have worked to expose primate abuse and battled international traffickers. We also operate a sanctuary for gibbons (the smallest of the apes) in South Carolina for rescued gibbons who have come to us for a lifetime of compassionate care after former "careers" as laboratory subjects, discarded pets, and zoo exhibits.
