Adopt Baby Woolly Monkey Shimi

Shimi arrived to Merazonia as a small baby after her mother was shot down from the rainforest canopy for bushmeat - a fate sadly suffered by many of our baby monkeys.

Shimi was then taken into a human home, where she suffered mouth injuries after chewing on an electrical wire. When it became clear that Shimi needed specialized care, she was handed over to a rescue center, who quickly passed her on to Merazonia due to our expertise with neonatal primates.

Shimi's personality started to shine through shortly after, as well as beginning to grow stronger and more confident. Almost a year later, Shimi now spends most of her days with our larger juvenile woolly monkey group, with the hope that one day she will be released with them.

Sadly, integrating Shimi has proven complicated due to her past traumas, and her confidence is often knocked, resulting in an increased risk of health problems. For this reason, Shimi still spends some time with a human surrogate, who provides her with the comfort and reassurance she would receive from her mother in the wild.

By symbollically adopting Shimi, you can help ensure that she receives the specialized care she needs so that one day, she can be returned to the wild where she truly belongs.
