Remember PASA in Your Will

Mbailassem is a young gorilla who was rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. After his parents were killed for meat, Mbailassem was sold to a zoo, where he languished in a cage all alone. Happily, he was rescued by a PASA member sanctuary where he received round-the-clock care and began to recover from his trauma. Now that he is strong enough, Mbailassem is learning how to play and interact with others.

Let your money help great apes and monkeys like Mbailassem when you no longer need it. Writing a will is the only way you can be sure that your assets will be distributed as you want, benefiting the people and causes dear to you.

Updating my will to include PASA only took a few minutes. Now I know that my money will protect great apes from extinction when I don’t need it anymore. I hope you’ll join me by remembering Africa’s primates in your will.  — Gregg Tully
