- An education program to inform the public of the role that the vervet monkey plays in the eco-system and how to prevent human - vervet conflict.
- A sanctuary for primates unfortunate enough to be unreleasable
but still able to have a quality of life to be ambassadors for their species. - An opportunity for volunteers to study the life style and environment of the vervet monkey primate species.
- A project for volunteers to become involved in the conservation and rehabilitation of this unique indigenous primate.
- Opportunities for volunteers, vet nurses, gap year students and those involved and interested in primate conservation.
