News from Highland Farm Gibbon sanctuary in Thailand

[Guest guest]

Keri Cairns of IPPL-UK is now in Thailand helping Pharanee Deters,

director of Highland Farm, and the sanctuary staff spend $60,000

generously donated by IPPL members for the care of the sanctuary's

gibbons and monkeys. Highland Farm is located on the Burma-Thailand

border about 30 miles from the town of Mae Sot. Keri is working on

constructing new gibbon housing and enriching existing housing, and

also at fixing the broken perimeter fence. This is Keri's first trip

to Thailand and he is adjusting well to the local culture and food.

Reading his blog is a treat. Plus you'll enjoy the wonderful photos

of the sanctuary and its animals and maybe you'll consider doing a

volunteer stint up there. Go visit,

With so much bad primate news, it's nice to see a happy story.
