PASA (Pan African Sanctuary Alliance)

Every day beautiful, intelligent and sensitive baby apes fall prey of the illegal wildlife trade. Their mothers killed while they try to protect their adored babies. These stories break my heart. But PASA gives me hope. With each rescue and rehabilitation of these precious apes, I feel a little goodness restored to the world. The determined loving dedication of PASA's sanctuaries' staff renews my trust in human beings. I have been a monthly donor for several years and have put PASA in my will. Bravo PASA!

PASA is such an amazing org. I am so grateful that they exist and protect the amazing primates of Africa.

Being able to help in even a little way with donations is making a better way for PASA to help primates recieve the care and attention they need and raise awareness to their plight in today's world of corporate and political greed.

PASA is such a great organization, I have been so impressed at how much they have accomplished in the 3 years I have known them. I am proud to support their efforts.

PASA does incredible work protecting Africa's primates. Their dedication to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting endangered species is inspiring. From supporting sanctuaries to educating communities, PASA’s impact is meaningful and lasting. It’s a cause truly worth supporting!

PASA is a wonderful nonprofit that seeks to aide in the rescue, protection, conservation, and rehabilitation of primates in Africa. Their focus on local community investment shows their compassion and care extends beyond primates to humans who are most impacted by the wildlife hunt/exotic pet trade, climate and global changes.
They have many different forms of involvement: donation, volunteer work, or travel to the centers where you can get real-world experience! Thank you PASA for saving and changing the lives of primates (both human and non-human)!

PASA is an amazing organization working to protect Africa's primates and their habitats. With 23 wildlife centers across 13 countries, they’re tackling the illegal wildlife trade and wildcat crisis head-on, rescuing and caring for thousands of great apes and monkeys.

What makes PASA stand out is their unique mix of local expertise and global collaboration. They’re not just saving individual animals but creating long-term solutions to prevent primate extinction. They also empower local communities through education and conservation efforts.

If you’re passionate about wildlife, supporting PASA is a fantastic way to make a real difference for Africa’s primates!

PASA plays a vital role in the success of 23 primate sanctuaries in 13 countries. Most recently, PASA hosted representatives from the sanctuaries in Johannesburg, South Africa, in order to share best practices, to discuss achievements, and to talk about challenges. There were numerous workshops including on how to reintroduce primates into the wild, and a full day of community education workshops.

PASA does much more than coordinate amongst the sanctuaries. PASA applies for and manages grants, and provides critical emergency funds for its sanctuary members when natural and man-made disasters impact the sanctuaries.

I urge you to consider giving to PASA and to our primates relatives.

PASA provides excellent animal rescue, rehabilitation, and treatment of primates across Africa. They also provide community education, engagement, and support to provide a strong co-existence with these wonderful animals and reduce human / wildlife conflict.

PASA is an incredible organization. The team is extremely dedicated to the welfare and preservation of the primates they work so hard to protect. The amazing efforts of PASA and its member sanctuaries have saved countless lives of monkeys and great apes. I highly recommend donating to this organization so they can continue to make a difference to the primates of this world.

PASA is doing amazing work to support the African sanctuaries rescuing primates from cruelty and to advance the conservation of wild populations. I regularly collaborate with PASA and find them to be a highly dedicated team, committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for both animal welfare and conservation.

PASA's work and its incredible staff always impress me. I am confident that my donations actually make a difference in the lives of the primates they work to protect. I am grateful for the work they do.

Amazing work at both the Parc de Lekedi and Ape Action Africa's Mefou sanctuary

PASA does an amazing job at education and communication in the battle against the wildlife trade. Its social media channels are a joy to follow. This organization also plays a critical role in the coordination of activities throughout Africa.

PASA is an amazing organization doing amazing work! Their commitment is unwavering and the staff is unrivaled in their passion for the work.
I highly recommend donating to help them continue their great work!

PASA is a vital organization run by committed professionals dedicated to the well-being, preservation and continued support of primates. I highly recommend the patronage of this amazing organization.

The Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) is an incredible organization dedicated to the welfare and conservation of Africa's primates, and I can't say enough good things about them. Their commitment to the protection of these remarkable animals is truly inspiring. I am truly grateful for the vital work that PASA does and for their tireless efforts to make a difference in the lives of these incredible creatures. Supporting PASA means supporting the preservation of our natural world, and I wholeheartedly endorse their mission. Thank you, PASA, for your incredible dedication to primates and our planet.

PASA is an organization that I've been happily supporting for a few years now. I work hard for my income and when I contribute to a cause/organization I keep tabs on them and their work so I can always feel confident that my contributions are being used as I intended, to help the ultimate cause in the ways that are most needed. Years later I continue to feel confident about PASA's mission, how they carry out this mission, and I am grateful for them, and what they do. I will continue to support them and I encourage others to look closely at them and strongly consider lending your support.

PASA's work to support sanctuaries in Africa is second to none. I know that my donation actually makes a difference and that means so much.

PASA does incredible work to save great apes and monkeys. I am very thankful for their dedication to saving these animals and and supporting conservation on the local level.

I've been involved with PASA for several years and can't say enough good things about this organization. The people here are dedicated to conservation and animal welfare, and they go above and beyond to help support people on the ground. PASA accomplishes so much with they resources they have. Truly amazing work!

Can’t say enough about this amazing organization! The time and dedication they put in to help save monkeys and great apes is such an inspiration.

When I finally decided to reach out and inquire about remote volunteering opportuniies, I had been following PASA’s fantastic work advocating for Africa’s primate and tirelessly promoting their sustainable conservation for quite some time. Now that I’ve seen the whole team’s incredible dedication from up close, I am even more in awe of the work PASA accomplishes and it’s a true pleasure and honor to help on projects in any way that I can!

PASA has a fantastic staff dedicated to valuable work to save species and ecosystems. They are wonderful to work with, incredibly supportive, and genuinely care about animals and the environment.

Excellent non-profit. Everything they do is worth supporting. They bring hope to all the beautiful primates of Africa.

I love this organization for the great work they do! Every interaction I've had with them has been courteous, professional and timely. I'll always support this team!

I have volunteered with PASA for over two years in a variety of roles. They are a small but incredible group of dedicated people working to end the illegal wildlife trade and care for the victims caught up in it. My experience with the team has allowed me to feel connected to a global effort and the reward in directly contributing toward real and immediate impact.

I really love this organization, all that they do and the impact that they make in the lives of great apes and monkeys.

I have donated different times over the years. I love that is charity support a lot of different animals all over Africa and a lot of different animal rescues. PASA is great!

PASA is a fantastic organization. They were instrumental in making the necessary connections for an investigation of a critical health issue at a sanctuary. Their efforts benefitted the primates, the sanctuary, and the team of people that PASA helped assemble. Without PASA, such cross-disciplinary collaborations would not be possible!

PASA is one of the many needed associations for the present and future of conservation of great apes. They are doing an excellent job and all support from all angles are very much needed.

I have worked on and off with PASA for fifteen years. PASA is full of people around the world incredibly dedicated to animal welfare and conservation. Their role as community conservation centers in low resource areas is crucial to the natural resource sustainability conversation in many countries. They are also local employers and builders of conservation capacity in many areas. This is a very good investment!

PASA is an impressive organization with a dedicated and highly experienced staff. I have been working with them this year on some of their projects. As someone that works with many similar mission-driven organizations, I can say with confidence that the PASA team is comprised of efficient, passionate individuals doing very important work for both people and animals. The team seeks out the latest science and expertise in the field and applies it to achieve novel, carefully planned solutions to meet their goals. It has been my pleasure working with them and I hope to do so more in the future!

PASA exemplifies what it means to be a leader in conservation. They have proven themselves as an organization time and time again. One of my favorite things about PASA is that they have very close relationships with people in Africa and let the communities lead the way for social change. They don't try to force their agenda. I think that's what makes them very different from a lot of other organizations. I also like that my donation goes to where it is needed most among dozens of sanctuaries.

I've been donating to this charity for a few years. My daughter is involved in conservation and she showed me the work of PASA. They work really hard to save chimps and monkeys. I would recommend anyone to take the time and see the hard work they do to help animals across the planet.

PASA is an exceptional organization for primate welfare and conservation! As a PhD candidate who studies the impact of maternal separation on brain structure in chimpanzees and rhesus macaques, I am constantly thinking about the health of wild orphaned primates. From many years of research, we know that individuals who experience trauma in early life can exhibit severe behavioral deficits and large-scale structural changes in the brain. It is comforting to know that there are so many dedicated people working together to care for these primates and give them the best lives possible.

PASA is an incredible and unique alliance of people from all across the world fighting to save Africa's primates. Everyone involved, from the board members and sanctuary leaders to the volunteers and donors, is so passionate about this mission. I've worked for PASA for 6 months and volunteered with them for a year previously. I feel really privileged to be a member of the PASA family and to know that the work we're doing is making a real impact for these complex and intelligent animals.

PASA is an awesome organization that is doing really impressive work on behalf of the primates and sanctuaries in Africa. They are helping to connect different primate sanctuaries to become a stronger coalition. I am really impressed that a smaller organization can have such a great impact bringing different organizations together, supporting conservation education and understanding that the peoples needs in the communities are just as important as the primates they share the land with.

My journey with PASA began just under a year ago. Joining PASA has been the most fulfilling and rewarding experience! PASA and its 23 member sanctuaries are made up of dedicated, diligent, and extraordinary individuals who are working hard to protect and ensure a future for Africa's primates. All support and donations made to PASA are reflected in the impactful work that PASA and its member sanctuaries are able to perform directly on the ground. It is a nonprofit that is truly deserving of your support.

Starting work as a volunteer with PASA has confirmed the excellent opinion I have of this organization and of its important work in primate conservation throughout the continent of Africa. As a volunteer working remotely, I have been very much impressed by the dedication with which the PASA team facilitated my orientation and by their commitment in upholding best practices in animal conservation. As someone who cares deeply about sustainability and ethics in animal welfare activism I cannot stress enough how important the work accomplished by PASA is and I plan to continue actively supporting the organization in the future.

Incredible group of caring, hard-working people that are making a real difference for great apes around the world!

PASA is my absolute favorite non-profit. They work tirelessly to create a better world for communities and wildlife in Africa through primate conservation. Leaders at PASA are always open to new ideas and to welcome all volunteers- this is an organization that I will continue to support and will encourage others to join in as well!

I've only just recently started volunteering for PASA, but I feel lucky & honoured to be part of an organisation I share values with! I study wild primates in the field & have done some conservation work in the past in wildlife rescue & rehabilitation centres. I believe the communication in place between PASA's members is key to successfully protect African primates & their habitat. I am grateful such an Alliance exists in Africa as so many animal lives can be saved through the hard work of the rescue & rehabilitation centres, their education programs & their fight against the wildlife trade. PASA needs & deserves your support to carry on its amazing & ever so important work!

I volunteered with PASA for about 2.5 years. They are a dedicated group of people who care very much about their work to secure a future for primate species, their members across Africa, and their volunteers. I always felt like a valued part of the team, and firmly believe that they are doing critical conservation work!

I've been following PASA's work for a couple of years and I am constantly amazed by their work. PASA is a very serious organization dedicated to the conservation and welfare of African primates. They do an amazing job working hard with governments and sanctuaries to ensure that confiscated primates have a second chance. Besides being a fan of the organization I also occasionally volunteer helping with translations and I am very happy about how they treat the volunteers. Congratulations to PASA and their incredible team!

I've been working with PASA for nearly six months now and I can't say enough about the caliber of the organization. During this time the Covid-19 pandemic has turned everything upside down and the team has provided consistent leadership and really dialed in its focus on fundraising for the member sanctuaries in Africa. Those organizations have been hit incredibly hard by the outbreak and it's truly impressive to see how this organization has orchestrated all of its resources to keep saving and caring for endangered wildlife in Africa.

I have been working and volunteering at PASA accredited sanctuaries and indirectly with the PASA team for a few years now and I must say that their levels of passion, dedication and standards are undeniably high. Their member sanctuaries have the best teams of caregivers, researchers, experts and volunteers and they have the highest standards of care for rescued wildlife in Africa. You can make no mistake by supporting PASA!

I've been volunteering for PASA for a few months now and it's has been an amazing adventure! Not only did I discover a great nonprofit, but also a dedicated team of people passionate about the preservation and welfare of primates.
PASA's missions are essential for the future of apes and monkeys in Africa and need our support.

PASA is a dedicated group of people doing amazing work for the benefit of primates. They work tirelessly to help their member sanctuaries care for and protect vulnerable apes and monkeys, while representing the plight of these precious animals on the world stage.

I have had the good fortune of meeting the PASA staff through my role as a volunteer and Board Member for a sanctuary that is an accredited PASA member. PASA has an amazing team that are collectively serving a vital role in connecting and supporting sanctuaries in their on-the-ground efforts. Their organization plays a part in education and training initiatives, emergency support, wildlife rescue and care, research and conservation, and more recently working with partner sanctuaries to outline and enact strategies that will end illegal wildlife trafficking.

This is an amazing group of people who all care so much about the work that they do. Volunteering for them is a great experience.

I'm very impressed by the important work PASA does. The much needed sanctuaries throughout Africa are supported by this organisation and ever challenged to higher their working standards. PASA helps African wildlife where help is most needed.

I've had the pleasure of volunteering for Pan African Sanctuary Alliance for a little more than a year, helping out with their social media. It has been incredible to see the work they make possible--ensuring their member sanctuaries get the support they need to remain effective in rescue, conservation and education to save primates and their habitats throughout Africa. It's also great to volunteer with such passionate and dedicated people. Whether by donating or volunteering (and this can be done entirely remotely), you can be a part of this inspiring organization that works tirelessly to secure a future for endangered species whose existence is continuously under assault.

I have volunteered with PASA for about a year now, and I am continually impressed by the knowledge and passion that the team has for not only biodiversity in Africa, but for sustainable livelihoods and the welfare of African people. As a volunteer, I feel like I am doing substantial work that has real results, and the opportunities to learn more and be more involved are always available.

PASA is the most focused and dedicated nonprofit that I have ever volunteered with. They all care deeply about great apes and monkeys. PASA brings together sanctuaries across Africa to fight against primate extinction and to rescue animals suffering in brutal conditions.

PASA is an amazing charity, that does great and much needed work.
I have been volunteering with them for a few months now - the work is extremely fulfilling, the staff are very kind and helpful and I plan to stay volunteering with them for a very long time.

I'm a dedicated supporter of the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance. I am very impressed with their commitment to both the welfare of the primates in the sanctuaries and the conservation of wild populations. I would encourage anyone to visit PASA's website, learn more about them, and consider making a donation to help primates in Africa.

PASA is an amazing organization. They have a unique role - using their international network to support their member wildlife centers across Africa.

As we lose thousands of wild great apes every year, organizations like PASA need our support more than ever.

As one of the sanctuaries that founded PASA Ape Action Africa has been involved with the organisation from the very start. Since the outset Pasa's role has been to support the sanctuaries and although the activities its undertaken has changed over time it's purpose remains the same. Without PASA the sanctuaries would not be unified and not able to share knowledge and expertise and would not have access to a network of support.
It's essential that PASA can continue to support and keep together the sanctuaries.

The 22 sanctuaries that comprise PASA are extraordinary because despite great difficulties (such as elusive funding, shortage of space, and not enough time to do all the things they would like) they have created safe and supportive communities for thousands of orphaned apes and monkeys that they have rescued from terrible conditions. The dedication and passion of the people who work there has to be seen to be believed.
PASA sanctuaries show that every individual primate is worth caring for. Not only does this mean that the sanctuaries provide a high ethical standard and boost welfare efforts in the country in general, but also they provide an invaluable base for conservation efforts. For example in Uganda Lilly Ajarova is the director of the Ngamba Island sanctuary for chimpanzees. As a researcher and conservationist working with wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, I repeatedly find that collaboration with Lilly's teams is helpful at all sorts of level - including the work that Lilly's group does on assessing and protecting the wild chimpanzee population in the Hoima area.
The care and conservation problems are different in every African country, so what is needed is local expertise with deep experience in that particular area. That is what PASA sanctuaries provide; and through the PASA alliance, the sanctuaries support each other in their missions of rescues, support and hope. Go PASA!

I have served in multiple capacities, volunteer, committee member and board member. It is a terrific organization with passionate people playing a key role in conservation in Africa. Our member sanctuaries are top notch and make such a huge impact on the lives not only of the animals in their care, but also of their cousins in the wild.

As a volunteer for PASA, I've been able to see the great work it does up close. Africa's great apes need help if they are going to survive and PASA is doing amazing work- together with its member organizations - to protect them and their habitats. PASA provides support, training and, in emergencies, crisis funding to a network of wildlife centers in 13 countries in Africa. Supporting PASA contributes to both direct care and to strategic planning and programs that support primate conservation and welfare.

I can't recommend this organization highly enough!
PASA first came on my radar when I researched ways to help out great apes in Africa. This organization is essentially an alliance of 22 primate sanctuaries across Africa. It provides accreditation for the sanctuaries, financial support, outreach, staff training and helps facilitate animal rescues and special projects.
Because PASA functions solely FOR these sanctuaries, it is a very task-driven, goal oriented organization. Which makes it a very safe, reliable choice when it comes to donating. They frequently work with the local communities to support livelihood alternatives and conservation education. This is key to making any sort of impactful change in the world of animal conservation and PASA really understand this.
I've found the people behind PASA to be an extremely dedicated and effective group of individuals. They are primarily primate experts and seasoned non-profit professionals that care very deeply about bringing aid to Africa's threatened primates.
Their website is a great resource for any and all info about primate conservation in Africa.
I really believe that without PASA, the primates of Africa would be much closer to extinction .
