The primate pet trade in the U.S. continues to put thousands of primates, often infants and juveniles, at risk of isolation, lack of social interactions with peers, poor nutrition, and potentially an early death. With this campaign focusing on education and the heightened pet trade on social media, we hope to spread the word that primates are wild animals, not domesticated pets, and that our efforts at protecting them should be focused on protecting wild habitats and studying wild primates.
