Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre
South Coast
Nr Wareham

Monkey World is het grootste opvangcentrum voor primaten ter wereld!

Monkey World, het internationaal gewaardeerde reddingscentrum, opende in 1987 om negen misbruikte Spaanse strandchimpansees een thuis te bieden. Nu is het de thuisbasis van meer dan 250 primaten van meer dan 20 verschillende soorten, waaronder Europa's enige orang-oetanskwekerij !. Velen zijn verwaarloosd, bewaard in onnatuurlijke omstandigheden of hebben ongelooflijke wreedheid ervaren. Bij Monkey World kunnen ze allemaal genieten van het bedrijf van hun eigen soort in een veilige en natuurlijke omgeving, en sommige maken zelfs deel uit van internationale fokprogramma's voor bedreigde diersoorten.
Door plezier te combineren met natuurbehoud, vertellen half uurlijkse bewaarplichten in het park alles over de naaste familielid van de mens. Bezoekers kunnen de sterren van TV's 'Monkey Life' en vervolgens 'monkey around' zien in de grootste speeltuin van de Great Ape in het zuiden. Er zijn verschillende eetgelegenheden in het park, of bezoekers zijn van harte welkom om een picknick mee te nemen en te genieten van een lunch in de prachtige omgeving.
