Jungle Friends

March Madness for Monkeys! Join us as we help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Jungle Friends, a local Gainesville primate sanctuary off State Road 121. Jungle Friends, 501(c)3 non profit offers a permanent sanctuary for New World Moneys. These are retired from lab research, ex pets, or have been taken by authorities. They support over 300 monkeys and are committed to education and advocacy of all captive non human primates. Come volunteer individually or as a group and take a tour of the sanctuary and see the monkeys after your shift.
