Past News ReleasesRSS PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB) February 09, 2021 An international group of primatologists led by the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) and including support from San Diego Zoo Global, the Columbus Zoo and GaiaZOO are providing a new home for 20 monkeys that were confiscated from wildlife traffickers. The monkeys all appear to be young and suffering from malnourishment and stress, and represent several species native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The confiscation is one of the largest seen in recent years, and reflects the crisis in criminal trafficking hitting Africa’s native wildlife.
