Protecting Primates
We envision a future where Africa’s great apes and monkeys can once again flourish in the wild.
Our Approach
We believe that building local capacity for conservation is key to achieving conservation success. As the largest alliance of wildlife sanctuaries across Africa, PASA unites sanctuaries through rigorous accreditation standards to ensure each of our partners is equipped to succeed in our collective mission to save primates.
PASA works on local and global levels to halt the increasing loss of primates and secure a safe future for wildlife and communities, utilizing a holistic approach to safeguard primates through conservation initiatives, sanctuary care, and by fostering human-wildlife coexistence.
Our Alliance
PASA accredited sanctuaries provide a safe and secure home for primates in need, giving the highest quality of care to each individual and working to protect primate populations across Africa.
PASA's network of sanctuaries on the ground makes us uniquely positioned to tackle the challenges facing primates. Sanctuaries are on the frontlines of conservation, having decades of experience in primate rehabilitation and wildlife protection. By leveraging PASA’s global reach and the strong relationships that our alliance has built with local communities and governments, we can strengthen African conservation efforts from the ground up.
When you join PASA's mission, you are joining a grassroots movement of sanctuaries, communities, scientists, and other conservation heroes working across the African continent towards the shared goal of saving primates.
