Almost 2 years ago we met this stump tailed macaque in Laos and promised her a better life. It has taken years of work, tears and sweat but we finally delivered on our promise. This week, for the first time, she felt what it was like to touch grass and see the sky. She unfortunately can’t be released into the wild yet, but at least she and her 3 friends now have a much better life.
A big thank you to the ACRES Team in Lao PDR for making this dream possible for the macaques and for all the v...
