With your donations we can give a second chance to our pensioners!
You will receive news of your protege by mail, every 4 – 6 weeks.

You can sponsor a gibbon completely either with 280 €/year or with 23 €/month or partially.
In case of an animal’s death, your donations can be attributed to another gibbon or used for other expenses depending on your wishes.
If you would like to donate in someone else’s name, please send us their email so that we may send them news of their fostered animal.
Thank you for your support!
