How to Help

The crucial limiting factor for the center's operations is a lack of finances since it does not have a steady income source. If you or your organization would like to make a donation or take part in the "Adopt-A-Monkey" program please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

 

Volunteer Positions – The primates need YOU!

 

Volunteering at the EPRC gives you a unique opportunity to directly help endangered wildlife whilst sampling the highly cultured and welcoming country of Vietnam.

Adopt-A-Monkey Program

The ENDANGERED PRIMATE RESCUE CENTER is a non-profit organization that operates solely on donations from concerned organizations and individuals, mainly from abroad.

To expand activities to a level where the EPRC can further benefit primate and habitat conservation in Vietnam, as well as keep pace with the increasing influx of confiscated primates needing a home, additional funding sources are strongly required.

The goal of the Adopt-A-Monkey Program is to assist with this fund-raising effort, while simultaneously raising awareness about the plight of primates and forest in Vietnam.

Given that the EPRC is the only rescue and breeding center for primates in all of Indochina, survival of the primates indigenous to this area and the survival of the EPRC go hand-in-hand.

We hope you also realize the importance of the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, and that we can count on your support by participating in the Adopt-A-Monkey Program. Simply fill out and mail the adoption form below!

 

It’s Easy!

For a minimum donation of 250 US$, you or your company/organization can become an official “EPRC Monkey Guardian”. All funds raised by the Adopt-A-Monkey Program go to the feeding, housing, and the general care of the primates at the EPRC.

 

As a Guardian, you receive:

 

Ø  Certificate of Adoption

Ø  Enlarged, colour photo of your chosen primate

Ø  Set of EPRC postcards

Ø  Species fact sheet
