Become a Steward of the Forest by supporting the Monkey Bridge Project.

The Monkey Bridge Project strives to preserve and restore the rainforest for primates amidst regional economic development in Costa Rica. We are accepting donations to continue ongoing primate conservation and research efforts in the Talamanca region.

Your contribution will aid in the installation and maintenance of monkey bridges and tree corridors, and bolster research efforts seeking to better understand primates in fragmented forests. Included below is a list of materials and supplies that will help us continue and expand our efforts in 2007.
