If you’re here, it’s because you care — not in an abstract way, but in a real, practical, do-something way. You understand that wild animals are running out of space, and once their habitat is gone, so are they.

Habitat loss is the single biggest threat primates face today. And unless humans actively protect the very little natural space that remains, rescued animals like those at Monkeyland could face another tragedy: losing the safe forest they finally call home.

Monkeyland has been a haven for rescued primates since 1998 — a place without cages, chains, stress, or exploitation. But sanctuaries built on privately owned land are vulnerable. Humans pass away. Properties change hands. Developers circle prime land. Promises disappear.

And the animals?
They have no say.

You can change that.

The Buy a Square Meter of Forest campaign is a groundbreaking initiative led by the South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance (SAASA). The goal is simple but revolutionary:

✅ Secure the Monkeyland forest permanently
✅ Place it under protection FOR the animals
✅ Ensure that no future owner can ever sell, develop, or endanger it

This isn’t symbolic giving.
This is real land.
Real protection.
A real future — guaranteed.

Your Contribution Creates Immediate and Permanent Impact

For just $5 (±R100), you can protect one square meter of forest and help secure the sanctuary land in perpetuity. Every square meter purchased is another piece of forest that will belong to the animals — not humans.

You’ll receive a Thank You Certificate with your purchase, and A18 tax relief certificates are available on request for donors who need them.

But the true reward is knowing you are part of something historic:
helping animals legally own the land they live on.

Why Should You Buy a Square Metre?

• Because accountability matters. If we don’t step in, developers will.

• Because this is real conservation, not a feel-good gesture.

• Because your children deserve a future where nature still exists.

• Because you can proudly say: “I helped protect that forest.”

• Because this initiative could change wildlife conservation forever.

As SAASA trustee Lara Mostert says:
“Animals should be able to own land too. This is our chance to reshape the way the world protects wildlife.”

And trustee Tony Blignaut adds:
“We’re not just saving Monkeyland. We’re building a model that can protect animals everywhere.”

Join Us. Stand With Us. Take Action – BUY NOW.

Buy your square meter(s) today and become part of a global movement that places animals, not profit, at the center of conservation.
