I would like to build a Military Veteran run rescue and rehabilitation charity for injured and unwanted Marmosets and New World Primates

The need for rescue and rehabilitation of primates from dealers, parrot cage breeders and status symbol seekers is very high meaning the top primate rescue centres can't cope with demand and there-for neglected marmosets end up with life threatening illness or living a life of hell in these situations

We are not aiming to put a ban on the pet trade of marmosets even tho there are some shocking keepers of primates but there are some extremely good keepers that have amazing enclosures with the experience and knowledge to keep these primates, we simply want to alleviate the strain on rescue centres and offer a life time home for unwanted or neglected Primates

How we could meet the need:

Once the charity is established we could focus on fundraising for land large enough to alleviate the strain on rescue centres to house theses marmosets!

We could then start sending uk veterans that have a passion for animals on primatology courses so they can become employed at the sanctuary as qualified

We would then build the sanctuary it's self offing a lifetime home with enclosures that offer outside space, heated indoor enclosures, access to vets that are specialists in primate care, and offer the correct diet and enrichment!

They will be able to have around the clock care supplied by trained dedicated veterans. And also be integrated with there own species as most have been kept in solitary confinement.

We do not intend at this stage to ever open to the public, just supply a permanent home for unwanted primates.
