After trying everything possible, we lost lovable character ‘Scoopy’ just after 11pm lastnight. He was a special monkey, very intelligent and gentle and always managed to make me laugh with his hilarious antics. For example, a few months ago he tricked the keepers and managed to escape from his enclosure and evade capture for two days. I was [...]
I would like to express my appreciation to Jan for her donation to help rehabilitate our now famous baby clawless Otter ‘Eve’. Jan is an Otter expert and has been advising us on Eve’s care since her first days at CERCOPAN. As primate specialists, we are new to raising otters, so all of the advice from Jan [...]

As another working day at CERCOPAN ends, we find ourselves with only 32 days left to find the funds to pay the rent on our Calabar premises for another year. With so little time left and $2828 still to find it is a worrying time for all here.
The response to our plea from Wildlife Direct staff and our readers however has [...]
For all of you following Eve’s progress, this is what we go through every single meal time! I can’t wait until we can persuade her to eat fish…. Enjoy!

A dark cloud still looms over CERCOPAN ’s future and it has nothing to do with the current rainy season…..The fate of more than 120 monkeys, orphaned victims of the bushmeat trade, still depends upon CERCOPAN being able to raise funds rapidly to pay rent on our Calabar premises. The animals at CERCOPAN’s HQ have been [...]

Whilst having a quiet drink in the local bar two members of the group returned having seen a small puppy in bad condition hiding under a broken umbrella. Upon inspection we realised this puppy was [...]

It’s a sad fact that charities and organizations across the world are suffering the knock on effects of the global financial crisis. Donors are drying up and support from individuals is lessening as people look to solving problems closer to home. CERCOPAN tries not to rely on appeals of this nature but we have found [...]

As anybody who works with animals will say, rehabilitating orphaned babies of any species comes with its risks. Trying to raise a baby who has been separated from its mother in an unnatural environment will inevitably be a difficult task, particularly when not much is known about the species. Two weeks in to our newest [...]
