Primate Rescue Center, Primate sanctuary in Wilmore, Kentucky, United States
The Primate Rescue Center spans across 30 acres of land, featuring specialized enclosures for chimpanzees and various monkey species with indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Clay Miller and April Truitt established the Primate Rescue Center in 1987, beginning their mission after purchasing a long-tailed macaque that highlighted the need for primate care.
The center collaborates with Kentucky state government to implement regulations preventing private individuals from importing primates into the state.
Staff members and volunteers prepare 300 pounds of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains daily to feed the resident primates in an industrial kitchen.
The sanctuary provides lifetime care to 8 chimpanzees and 40 monkeys across 12 different species, including macaques, spider monkeys, and olive baboons.
