Innocent and remarkable nonhuman primates — macaques, baboons, and vervet monkeys. Subjected to experiments in research laboratories; kept as "pets"; callously used as entertainment attractions — no primate should endure such misery.

Primates deserve dignity and freedom. Keep Wildlife in the Wild!

Located on 186 secluded acres in southwest Texas, the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary is home to more than 500 nonhuman primates. After what many of them have been through, these animals deserve the best possible care, peace, and respect. Our unique sanctuary provides an enriched environment as close to the wild as possible with minimal human interference.

Born Free USA wants to save as many primates in need as we can. Help us help them!
