Square Meter For Monkeys Campaign

Give rescued primates the one thing they’ve never had:
A home that can never be taken away. Your square metre helps legally secure their forest forever.

Give Rescued Primates What They’ve Never Had: A Home That Can Never Be Taken Away

By securing their forest in their name, you are helping create the world’s first sanctuary where animals legally own their land.
Every square metre you buy protects their freedom, safety, and future — forever.

For the first time ever, rescued animals can become legal stakeholders in the land they depend on for survival.

The “Buy a Square Metre of Forest” initiative gives donors like you the power to secure the forest home of the primates at Monkeyland – not symbolically, but legally and permanently.

This is real land.
Real protection.
Real conservation.

And your contribution directly safeguards these animals from the world’s greatest threat: habitat loss. Every square meter bought strengthens a sanctuary where animals reclaim what was taken from them — safety, space, and the freedom to live naturally.

Now meet some or our 700+ Monkeys that need your help to buy them squares to own their home.

The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about.

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH Conservationist

I believe that conservation education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.

NIEL SHRENK Safari guide, Monkeyland

People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure. The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see a monkey except in a picture book?

AMANDA DREYER Teacher

The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of a conservation ethic in our culture.

CHRISTIAN SCHAUERTE Curator of primates, Monkeyland

Environmentalism opposes reckless innovation and makes conservation the central order of business.

LEE DEKKER Manager of Birds of Eden, Plettenberg Bay

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
