About

United for African primate conservation and care.

PASA is the only alliance of African primate sanctuaries, uniting over 20 accredited sanctuaries across 13 countries. We bring together a unique coalition of primate sanctuaries and wildlife centers, local-to-global NGO partners, specialized experts, and compassionate supporters.

 

Together we stand united by our determination to protect African primates forever.

Our Story

Founded by our members 

In 2000, directors of chimpanzee sanctuaries convened in Uganda to discuss the challenges they faced. Recognizing their shared difficulties and the benefits of collaboration, they founded the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance to enhance ongoing communication and provide mutual support.

Decades of primate protection

Initially, PASA focused on networking and communication but soon expanded its role to strengthen the collective impact of the alliance.

 

PASA launched programs to address long-term threats to primates, combatting the illegal wildlife trade and fostering greater human-wildlife coexistence. On the international scale, PASA began to represent the sanctuary perspective to raise awareness of the issues and strengthen wildlife policy. 

​

Creating a brighter future for primates

Today, when primate species are being pushed ever closer to extinction, the need for PASA has never been greater.

​

With over 20 current accredited sanctuaries across 13 African countries, we are working to implement innovative conservation programs and tackle the threats facing primates.

 

By leveraging our collective expertise and resources, we have the power to achieve a greater impact on primate conservation and create a brighter, safer future for primates.
