The IPSF was founded in order to help primates in Israel. The sanctuary was built in 1996 on land donated by the Monkey Park in Ben-Shemen.
The sanctuary is recognized by the Animal Protection Law in Israel and collaborates with Israel’s Nature and National Parks Protection Authority, Veterinary Services and The Ministry of Environment.
.
The trade and possession of primates in Israel continues despite being prohibited by Israeli law,. Primates are illegally smuggled into Israel by black market dealers and travelers or are illegally raised and then sold on breeding farms in Israel. Many of the primates are held in poor conditions and lead solitary lives unbefitting for these social and intelligent animals. As a result these primates suffer severe physical and psychological damage.

[÷éùåø=http://en.ipsf.org.il/articles.php?id=656&mode=showItem][öáò=ëçåì]IPSF programs and goals:[/öáò]

Approximately 200 monkeys have entered the sanctuary and have been rehabilitated through the IPSF and more primates are continually admitted.
We, the IPSF, believe the problem of primates kept illegally in captivity may be resolved. Increasing awareness, confiscating primates held in poor conditions, birth and population control and educating the public to respect the needs of primates and of all wildlife, may solve the problem within ten years

Many people turn to us willing to volunteer and work and contribute to the sanctuary. Our greatest need is financial and your help is most important.
