Step 1 – Raise Funds
To realise the goal of the Vervet Forest, we need to raise at least £500,000 to pay for the land, construction and other necessary expenses. Supporters from all over the world are helping us raise the money, one hectare at a time.
Step 2 – Create the Forest
Once the funds are raised, a carefully chosen land will be purchased. Elements like water sources and vegetation density have to be taken into account. Then, infrastructure for a soft
release will be created and permits acquired.
Step 3 – Monitor and Learn
The monkeys will be
introduced to their new home
step by step to create a bond
to the new territory. Then,
slowly, the area will be
extended until full freedom is
achieved. During this process
and in the following years, the
monkeys will be monitored to
ensure the best practice for
now and in the future.
