My volunteering at AAP Primadomus
To work with chimpanzees is not something that I would have been able to do, if not for the existence of Primadomus. Not everyone has the luck to have such a noble project of a long term lifecare centre for exotic animals in their town.

Normally by the middle of the day in May temperatures can reach 30 degrees centigrade, this year the heat did not properly start until the second week of June.

Barbary macaque campaign: great success despite of counteractions
In the blistering heat of South-Spain some of our colleagues and volunteers had a tough job to do.

Thanks to the effort of the Cypriot animal welfare organisation, Animal Responsibility Cyprus (ARC), and especially the driven chairman, Kyriacos Kyriacou, this still nameless orphan was quickly equipped with the necessary health and travel documents.

The Dokkumer Vlaggencentrale (flag factory in the city of Dokkum) had printed 15,000 championship flags, in the build-up to the World Cup Final. It was a gamble, but a gamble with 50% chance... Unfortunately, the other 50% won.

Mega outplacement AAP
On Monday 31st of May no less than 24 barbary macaques moved to new homes in France. It is a record for AAP: never have so many animals been moved to a new home in one go. Rizzly’s group of 17 is the largest, and they went to Zoo de Jurques in Normandy. AAP has a structural waiting list for barbary macaques and these are the animals which are most often rescued. This large outplacement is an important success for AAP.
