We are a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the world's remaining primates, great and small. We concentrate on:

• offering advisory and financial support for activities that help monkeys and apes, both in the U.S. and overseas;
• granting financial assistance for programs that protect primates and their habitat within their native countries;
• publicizing the plight of primates in trouble and organizing international protest campaigns;
• conducting investigations of illegal international primate trafficking; and
• operating a sanctuary for rescued gibbon apes in South Carolina.

IPPL is a registered 501(c)(3) U.S. charity that cares about making the best use of our friends' donations to benefit primates worldwide.

Please Help! IPPL maintains a sanctuary at our Headquarters in Summerville, South Carolina, where dozens of gibbons currently reside. Many of our gibbons come from research, pet, or zoo backgrounds. Sometimes zoos close down or substandard facilities get into trouble with authorities. Sadly, none of these gibbons can be released into the shrinking wild. Please click here to meet the gibbons or here to make a donation to help support them. Courtney, one of the gibbons living at IPPL's sanctuary
