Here is an update on little Pearl, the orphan macaque who was handed over to WFFT just last week. We assume she is still missing her mother but she is surprisingly settling in well with her new surrogate parents at the WFFT Wildlife Hospital. She loves to cuddle her teddies…

As we always say, education is the key! Here at WFFT it is important for us to teach the younger members of society about problems faced by wildlife on earth, particularly here in Thailand. So last week we received the visit of Ruamrudee International School for 2 days at the…

We told you earlier in the week about Pearl's story (the baby long-tailed macaque), Moira was owned by the same person. So, she arrived at the same time. On her arrival the WFFT Vet team realized that the Loris brought was a Pygmy Loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus). They are a seriously…

A year and a half ago, a male long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) named Ooo (regarding the sounds he is making) was 'adopted' by a local family. They got Ooo after his mother had died. The poor orphan monkey would have been a similar age to Pearl when he was taken…

WFFT's rescued great apes Maggie and Chico are on the move 2018! Since their arrival in 2016 they have been going to forest school sessions in the Khao Luk Chang Temple forest close to the WFFT Wildlife Rescue Centre. As they become larger and get closer to adulthood we must…

Well, after a period of specialized care from the WFFT Vet Team little Hedwig was able to spread his wings once again. We released him on the project 4 area…

Once again, the "Otter Aqua park" at our Newland otter habitat had its grand spring-clean! One of the rare special projects that combines Wildlife Volunteers and Elephant Refuge Volunteers. On a very hot sunny day, the general mood was really good and smiles were on every face. Lots of fun…

Last month we told you the story of a young female long-tailed macaque who had been hit by a car (https://www.wfft.org/…/yesterdays-emergency-case-macaque-h…/). We named her Ursula. What happened to little Ursula is a real miracle. Very soon after her arrival she fell into a coma, the WFFT Wildlife Hospital Vet Team…
