a zoo in Turkey. In October that same year, Monkey World rescued another female chimpanzee named Naree, whom Alison Cronin first encountered with Jim in 2003. In February 2020, Monkey World rescued a 37-year-old chimpanzee named Kalu, who had been kept as a pet on a stud farm in South Africa until her owner's death. During Storm Eunice in February 2022, a very rare woolly monkey was unexpectedly born, only to be followed by another in March. The park also suffered during the storm, with lots of trees being felled and fences being damaged. Overview Monkey World features the largest group of chimpanzees outside of Africa which are housed in four different social groups. Many of its animals are rescued from the black market pet trade, laboratories and from abuse as tourist photographer props. The park also features three groups of orangutans, including two different species (Bornean and Sumatran). It is host to Europe's only orangutan crèche which raises all orphaned or abandoned orangutans in Europe. Whilst open to housing gorillas, the park has not yet come across any which require rescue or rehabilitation at the park. Additionally, the park houses five different species of gibbon (agile gibbon, lar gibbon, Müller's gibbon, siamang and golden-cheeked gibbon) and 14 species of monkey/prosimian (capuchins, common marmosets, Geoffrey's marmosets, cotton-top tamarins, patas monkeys, red-bellied guenons, ring-tailed lemurs, white-faced saki, slow loris, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, stump-tailed macaques and woolly monkeys). Dao Tien Rescue Centre In 2008, Monkey World along with the Pingtung Rescue Centre, Cat Tien National Park and the Forestry Protection Department worked together to create the Dao Tien Rescue centre in South Vietnam to save gibbons and other primates from the pet trade, smuggling, theme parks and restaurants. Since opening, Dao Tien has confiscated and/or rescued over 50 endangered primates including golden-cheeked gibbons, pygmy slow loris, black-shanked douc, grey-shanked douc, southern white-cheeked gibbon, northern buffed-cheeked gibbon, white-faced saki and silvered langur. 27 of these primates have been rehabilitated and released into native habitats. After release they are tracked using radio collars. Dao Tien is run by the charity Endangered Asian Species Trust (EAST), who rescue and rehabilitate endangered Vietnamese primates. The work of Dr. Marina Kenyon and her team has been documented in the Monkey Life TV series since Series 2.
