All footage for this video was obtained through reputable, ethicallyrun
wildlife sanctuaries dedicated to caring for their rescued primates, while
protecting their wild counterparts. Apes Like Us (under GLOBIO) and our
partner programs in no way support the exploitation or trade of primates
in any capacity (whether legal or illegal).

The sanctuary caretakers shown in this video are experts at caring for
these vulnerable, orphaned apes until they are strong enough to join
larger primate families at these sanctuaries. Any human contact with these
infants is for the babies' physical and mental benefit only.
