Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Shirley McGreal has been rewarded for her life's work " for services to the protection of primates " with an appointment to the Order of the British Empire (OBE). Shirley's appointment as an Officer of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II is a wonderful honor for her that also reflects positively on the entire International Primate Protection League. Many animals have had their lives helped by Shirley's work on international smuggling and trade issues. Getting a primate export ban in India was a highlight of Shirley's work and enabled many animals to remain exactly where they should be- living wild and free and not in laboratories. Shirley has a special love of gibbons. Her gibbon facility is wonderfully maintained and well-staffed. Many overseas groups struggling with rescue facilities have been helped by IPPL for many years. Prince Philip has been interested in IPPL and has supported Shirley in her work, especially with international trading issues. Congratulations to Shirley and her team.
