The DuMond Conservancy for Primates and Tropical Forests is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing a home for confiscated and retired laboratory primates. In addition, the Conservancy serves as an educational and scientific resource for students interested in learning more about our closest relatives. The DuMond Conservancy is located in subtropical South Florida, near Miami. The warm climate allows us to keep our primates out-of-doors year round, either free ranging in a lush, 4-acre forest, or in large enclosures planted with natural vegetation and situated in secluded woods.
