Two and a half years ago we were fortunate enough to receive funding to build new enclosures at our Primate Sanctuary in south Texas.
The design of these new enclosures also incorporates multiple smaller sections within each bigger yard, which gives us the ability to shift and temporarily separate individuals who may need medical care or a special diet.
Another significant upgrade was the addition of cinder-block warm houses that are heated with propane heaters in the winter. These warm houses provide shelter and warmth during the colder months.
For us, building these new enclosures felt like a big step forward in bettering the lives of the monkeys in our care. We have seen a significant improvement in the lives of the monkeys who are now living in the newer enclosures and we are hoping to eventually be able to build more of similar design so more of the Sanctuary monkeys can experience these benefits.
