Martin was rescued by ZPP just 10 days ago. He was on sale for $100 and illegally kept since being a baby. During all his life he was only fed nshima ๐ŸŒฝ so it is not a surprise that Martin enjoyed trying all the different fruits, veggies and nuts given by the ZPP care team ๐Ÿ’š

Astro was confiscated by the ZPP Rescue Team this January in Zambia. She was only 4 months old. She had been illegally kept as pet since being a tiny baby after her mother was poached. Astro never drank milk until she was under our care and now it is her fave! ๐ŸŽฅ Cosmas Mumba/ZPP

What a difference ZPP makes! Paula was a juvenile vervet monkey chained for 2 years since being a baby, in a dark room, illegally kept, alone. ZPP rescued Paula, and after her rehab process, Paula was released this past October in Kafue National Park with our troop of vervets ๐Ÿ’š
