ASP Keep 'Em Wild

Each year, countless primates are bred for the U.S. pet trade, separated from their families, and sold as infants or juveniles.  These “exotic pets” are often advertised and sold on social media to buyers unaware that the primates are not domesticated and do not thrive in private homes.

By supporting the Keep 'Em Wild campaign of the American Society of Primatologists, you are joining a dedicated community of advocates committed to ending the captive primate pet trade. Your contribution, no matter the size, will help support new ASP-funded projects in the wild or sustain essential programs that protect primates.

Many primate species are threatened with extinction. Together, we can put an end to the exploitation of primates and ensure they remain where they belong—wild and free!
