The Society provides hands-on support, educational materials, and networking to ensure that non-human primates in private settings have access to the best care available. It also actively supports a Primate Health Network, to collect and distribute health information, to provide medical support to local veternarians, and to provide direct assistance in emergency medical situations. The Society recently affirmed its life long commitment to primates in private settings by expanding its placement network. Last Updated: 2002-01-18 [Edit Entry] [Delete Entry] [Search IDP] |
