macaque

The research, which tracked the trade and ownership of lions across licensed and unlicensed zoos, breeding farms, and private homes/businesses over a seven-year period, paints a disturbing picture of the booming lion industry in Thailand.

WFFT is tackling its biggest challenge yet – ending the abuse of pig-tailed macaques in the coconut industry. Please be a part of making history by donating today towards the first phase of this important project.

Please add your name to our letter and urge the Thai authorities to close down a monkey zoo and show on Koh Samui and retire the animals to a sanctuary.

WFFT hosted the 2025 WARN Asia Conference in Hua Hin, uniting experts to share solutions for wildlife rescue, protection, and conservation.

The first side enclosures as part of our new coconut monkey project have been completed, and six rescued macaques have moved in.

Spooky season at WFFT was full of pumpkins, playtime, and plenty of Halloween enrichment for our rescued animals!

Puek was very badly injured. But thanks to emergency rescue & veterinary care at WFFT, he had the chance to recover and go back to the wild.

This October, WFFT welcomed four newly rescued young macaques - each in urgent need of care and compassion.

After being discovered weak and covered in ants in the south of Thailand, slow loris Joey is now safe and on the road to recovery.

Slow lorises are not pets. Rescued from poor conditions, Ling now gets a second chance at the WFFT sanctuary.

Hope’s journey from a life of isolation to companionship with fellow macaque, Neung, is nothing short of inspirational.

This year, we’re inspiring local students in Thailand to protect wildlife through school visits and sanctuary tours.

Read about how we continue our mission to end coconut monkey abuse in Thailand. This time it was 4-year-old Khai Nui's turn to be rescued.
