Are the monkeys free-roaming?
Visitors to the Sanctuary some years ago may remember that the female and young woolly monkeys roamed around the gardens during the day and often ask us if this is still the case. One of the major reasons that the woollies did roam free was to give them space and extra territory – over the years, the territory has increased and the monkeys now have a huge area at their disposal. This has enabled the male woolly monkeys access to the trees which they did not have previously. This, coupled with the backgrounds of the more recently rescued monkeys and evolving views on best practice means that the monkeys cannot be out and about.
