My grandmother lived with and wrote books about primates. She first introduced me to the IPPL over 20 years ago when she was a donor. I have been a donor for many years and am consistently impressed with the work IPPL does on behalf of abused primates both in the U.S. and abroad. Its magazine not only tells about work in the field, it provides explicit opportunities to effect change including detailed descriptions of what can be changed and the names and addresses of those to be contacted about the issue. Sometimes it even includes pre-addressed post cards! I have learned so much about primates around the world thanks to IPPL. One day I hope to visit the sanctuary in SC and to attend one of their conferences. Shirley McGreal and her staff personally sign holiday cards and thank you cards which is very nice touch too.

I've been a volunteer at IPPL for over ten years. During this time I've witnessed first hand the effectiveness of this organization with regards to primate protection. The founder, Dr. Shirley McGreal, has set the tone of this grassroots organization with her commitment to helping small groups working on the front line who often are neglected by larger foundations and groups. With assistance from IPPL, these volunteers and small groups make a huge difference in the plight of primates worldwide.
In addition to the amazing work on behalf of the world’s primates, IPPL runs a gibbon sanctuary in Summerville, SC that provides a wonderful home to more than 30 of these small apes. Many are retired from laboratories, while others are former pets or zoo castoffs. IPPL provides a wonderful "retirement" for these delightful apes.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
-Witnessing successful international campaigns. -Visiting overseas sanctuaries and seeing the results of IPPL's support. -Spending time with the gibbons at IPPL's headquarters. All are happy and healthy.

IPPL is an immensely effective organisation. Its achievements over more than thirty years speak for themselves. With a very small team, IPPL has helped to secure primate export bans in several countries, ensured the successful prosecution of a number of illegal wildlife traffickers, and saved thousands of primate lives through its campaigning, fundraising and law enforcement efforts. These accomplishments have been recognised by many prestigious awards given to the organisation - and to its founder - Dr Shirley McGreal.
