AESOP-Project [Allied Effort to Save Other Primates]
is an international coalition of individuals and organizations
dedicated to protecting monkeys and apes.
AESOP-Project strives to prevent monkeys and apes
from becoming victims of any form of abuse and/or
exploitation.
Allied Effort to Save Other Primates' acronym 'AESOP'
is derived from Aesop, the Greek fabulist. Aesop was
born a slave; however, he was freed by his second
owner. The owner took the time to get to know Aesop;
and, as such learned to appreciate and respect the
extent of Aesop's wit and intellect. Analogously,
AESOP-Project strives to educate others about the
extent of the wit and intellect possessed by monkeys
and apes, in hopes that they too will soon be respected
and freed.
AESOP-Project's website is updated frequently to
provide a wide variety of information about monkeys
and apes - especially including links to other organizations
actively working on the front-lines to protect monkeys
and apes... with the (mutual and ultimate) goal to
prevent any future suffering of these amazing and
diverse social individuals, as well as alleviating
the existing suffering of monkeys and apes which is
regretfully rampant worldwide.
Becoming involved in the struggle to make a real
difference is an individual choice. There are many
ways to become involved, ranging from time-consuming
activism to a few moments spent endorsing a pre-written
on-line petition. Regardless of how much time you
choose to spend, please take a little time to educate
yourself about the issues... Take a look in to the
eyes of the monkeys and apes featured in photos on
this website and in the links. Then, decide how you
will help.
Please visit AESOP-Project's Action
Alerts page that provides detailed information
on how you can participate to make a difference --
regardless of whether you have days, hours or only
a few moments to spare.
