*********************************
Set amongst the woodland of Dorset lays 65 acres of sanctuary for over 150 primates. Monkey World was set up in 1987 by Jim and Alison Cronin to provide abused Spanish beach chimps with a permanent, stable home. Today Monkey World works in conjunction with foreign governments from all over the world to stop the illegal smuggling of apes out of Africa and Asia. At the park visitors can see more than 150 primates of 15 different species.
On site there is a hospital and operating theatre where most of the medical examination and operations on the chimps and monkeys happen. Monkey World has a local vet and a specialist primate vet and the staff at Monkey World are recognised as experts in primate rehabilitation and health. Monkey World also bring in specialists as needed such as paediatricians, dentists, ear, nose and throat surgeons, ophthalmic specialists, and gynaecologists.
