Extractions: About Us Support the Monkeys News Contact Us It all started in the year of 1992. Entering my life came an adult rhesus macaque called "Mindy Sue". Age unknown, small for her species and severely under weight, Mindy was to change my life in ways I could never imagine. In Mindy's memory, the sanctuary was founded and built to what it has become today. To give a chance at a freer life for those who find us. More than 50 macaque monkeys kept at a research lab located in Warren County, NJ, suddenly found themselves without a place to live when the facility closed due to bankruptcy. Four primate sanctuaries offered to provide permanent residence for the displaced macaques. Mindy's Memory welcomed eight of the refugees.

Extractions: Fewer than 650 mountain gorillas and 40,000 lowland gorillas are left in the world. Their existence continues to be threatened as increasing human populations continue to decrease the gorillas' habitats. Gentle and intelligent creatures, gorillas are more closely-related to humankind than many would expect. In August, the siverback you see on the picture was shot to death while he was trying to prevent the kidnapping of the baby sitting on his back. That such a futile tragedy can happen in this day and age is an outrage. Find out more about these wonderful animals, and help us ensure their survival.
