EPF is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit dedicated to protecting primate individual welfare and species survival in captivity and in the wild. Our Prosimian Sanctuary provides rescue and behavioral rehabilitation for lemurs from the pet trade. EPF's mission is to protect captive and wild primates by supporting in-country conservation programs, educating the public on the hazards of owning primates as pets, and providing expert husbandry for rescued primates housed at EPF's Prosimian Sanctuary. The Prosimian Sanctuary is the only sanctuary in the US dedicated solely to providing behavioral rehabilitation and lifelong care for lemurs and other prosimians rescued or surrendered from the pet trade, roadside zoos, and other inappropriate environments.
