WHAT’S HAPPENING at PPS?
Spider Monkey Enclosures
Thanks to Steven, the first phase of construction of the new Spider Monkey Enclosures is finished! He has made and installed sliding doors, which will allow us to close off either of the round sections when needed. At this point, the enclosure is filled with plants, branches and ropes ready for the Spider monkeys to move in. Once they are comfortably entering a transfer crate, we will be able to move them into their new home- and install the final section!
The new Spider Monkey Enclosure- nearly complete!
Long time donors and friends of Pacific Primate Sanctuary have made generous contributions towards the construction of the Spider Monkey facility. However, we still need another $3,000 to complete this project. Generosity and compassion are the stuff miracles are made of; please become one of the Sanctuary’s Miracle Workers.
A Sanctuary supporter writes: ”It is OUR privilege to support people like you and the PPS volunteers. You make a difference in this crazy world of ours.”

Donation of Goods
Please let us know if you’d like to donate goods to the Sanctuary. PPS has a Wish List of things we need. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to two retail businesses in the Maui community that make significant contributions to Pacific Primate Sanctuary. THANK YOU to Down to Earth and Whole Foods for your support of our work and willingness to assist us by providing donations of food for the primates. Each week we receive boxes of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, bread, nuts and grains. The monkeys are always very excited to receive the delicious special items provided by these two generous stores!
PPS RESIDENCY
Our newest Intern, Olivia, is settling in well at Pacific Primate Sanctuary. Olivia has been learning how to provide daily care to the 73 monkeys living at PPS. She is now proficient in preparing food and providing enrichment for the monkeys, maintaining the Sanctuary facility, learning to update PPS Manuals, and has already graduated from her AM and PM shift protocol training,
Olivia is now being trained in Emergency Care procedures. She is learning to provide specialized individual primate care, with a focus on increasing observational skills, transfer and capture, and medicating. Olivia’s emergency care training will deepen as she learns to calculate drug dosages, check vital signs, use an incubator, and administer subcutaneous fluids. We are so glad to have such a bright trainee and are eager to assist Olivia in mastering the skills necessary to become a Primary Animal Caregiver!
We have recently updated the resident intern page on our website- providing current information for future applicants as well as adding images and insightful comments from past Interns. Please visit our website to see this new page: (http://www.pacificprimate.org/future.htm)
