Primate rescue and rehabilitation

Baby in the family: Monti the infant orangutan is receiving expert care at our emergency rescue centre in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo.

Escape artist: after years in captivity, Mona the orangutan loves the freedom to climb and play in her spacious enclosure at our emergency rescue centre in Indonesian Borneo.

Orangutan exile: we are caring for a growing number of orangutans like Bunga that have been caught from the wild and often spent years in captivity as pets, caged or chained up.

Forest freedom: thousands of orangutans are being driven from their treetop homes in the forests of Borneo as they are destroyed to make way for oil palm plantations.

Hands-on rescue: JoJo the orangutan was chained up on a pallet over an open sewer when International Animal Rescue stepped in and saved him.

Mother love: Monti the orphaned orangutan was still a tiny baby when we rescued her and needed constant love and expert care to stand a chance of survival without her mother.

Party animal: in spite of his sad past, Jingo the orangutan is always ready for a game. At our emergency rescue centre in West Kalimantan there are plenty of other orangutans eager to join in the fun.

Brown-eyed beauty: slow lorises are captured from the wild in Indonesia and sold in the animal markets because their big eyes and soft fur make them irresistible as pets.

Pensive primate: our rescue centre in Ciapus on Java rescues macaques and slow lorises from captivity and rehabilitates them so that they can be returned to the wild.

Finger food: Saar the orphaned baby Javan gibbon was handreared at our primate rescue centre during the first months of his life to replace the care of his mother.

$\'Hands on\' experience: IAR patron and TV vet Scott Miller learnt a lot about slow lorises during his trip to Indonesia with International Animal Rescue.$

Monkey mischief: our monkey rescue facility in Goa provides an endless variety of toys and environmental enrichment to occupy the quick minds and bodies of the monkeys.

Bottle baby: Pixie the bonnet macaque has similar needs and behaviour to a human baby.

Monkey misery: these young monkeys were a picture of misery when they were rescued in Indonesia and clung tightly to each other for comfort and reassurance.

On the road back to health: the slow lorises that we rescue from the pet markets are given expert care and treatment to help them survive.

Riding high: from an early age the monkeys in our care are encouraged to develop the skills they will need to survive in the wild.

Cruel captivity: slow lorises are shy, nocturnal primates that suffer terribly in the heat and glare of the markets in Indonesia where they are sold.

The human touch: infant monkeys require as much careful nurturing as human babies during the first months of their lives if they are to survive.

Precious cargo: rehabilitated macaques that are ready to return to the wild are carried up the hillside to the release site in backpack crates.

Back to nature: macaques that our team has released back into the wild in Indonesia enjoy their freedom after years in captivity.

One of the lucky ones: this slow loris has at least a chance of survival after being rescued from captivity and taken into the care of our team in Indonesia.
