There are 140 fascinating Barbary macaques to see at Monkey Forest. They live in large groups and within them we have up to 6 generations co-existing.
Their mesmerising natural behaviours are on display for you to enjoy whenever you get the chance to visit, with forest path, info boards and videos.
Babies are born in the spring and early summer with DARKER fur than the adults. Births happen naturally in the trees and we find out about them when we see a new baby when opening up in the morning! They are usually seen clinging to an adult or riding on their back.
They start to lose their dark fur after 1.5 months which is gradually replaced by brown fur. Babies are fully weaned at 6 months of age. It takes them up to 10 days to start walking/climbing. Within their first 2 years of life they are still socially dependent on their mother and she will provide protection, warmth and comfort.
Juveniles are also small in size but have brown fur. They spend a lot of time playing and are very agile. You can adopt all of our babies to help save primates through vital conservation and research at the Jungle Shop.
Since its launch in 1989, British Wildlife has established its position as the leading natural history magazine in the UK, providing essential reading for both enthusiast and professional naturalists and wildlife conservationists. There is no other publication that offers such high-quality, authoritative, well-researched and accessible articles on such a wide range of subjects. Published 8 times per year, each issue has 84 information-packed pages. There are several in-depth articles in each issue, covering such diverse subjects as the wildlife of London’s churchyards, identifying and recording Britain’s smaller ladybirds, restoration of mountain woodland in the Cairngorms, and the conservation of the Basking Shark. With contributions from top experts, British Wildlife provides the best way for naturalists and wildlife conservationists to keep abreast of new discoveries and the latest trends.
The Young People’s Trust for the Environment (YPTE) is a charity that encourages young people’s understanding of the environment. It aims to give young people (and an increasing number of adults) clear and balanced information on a wide range of environmental issues, including climate change, plastic pollution, deforestation and endangered species. This enables them to make informed decisions about how to live their lives in a way that gives greater priority to the preservation of the natural world.
The leading local independent conservation organisation. Our mission is to bring people closer to nature and create a land rich in wildlife.
Supported by our passionate members and dedicated volunteers we are working to bring about nature’s recovery across Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull through practical action, education and influencing behavioural change. To achieve our mission, we’re working in partnership with local councils, farmers, businesses and communities to make Warwickshire a better place for wildlife and people.
Back in 1970, local people gathered to help wildlife thrive on our doorstep. During this time we have grown from 2 to over 65 nature reserves and now have over 24,000 supporters. We believe in a wilder future for Warwickshire for everyone. Read more of our history here.
Woods and trees are essential.
For people. For wildlife. For life.
That’s why we’re here.
A-Z-Animals.com believes that if people are educated about the world’s animal species they will better care for them. Therefore, we are becoming the most comprehensive and authoritative resource for animal information online. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of careful research and accuracy so that all readers can trust the material found here represents the most modern understanding of a given species ranging from scientific name to diet, habitat, and more. We also present an animal’s conservation status whenever possible so that readers can take action to protect a species.
The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 900,000 members, over 35,000 volunteers, 2,000 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work.
Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts.
We’re a small charity with big ideas – take a look at our impact, our vision and meet some of the people who make it happen. You can also check out our finances and read all about our rich history – enjoy!
We believe the North East should be rich in wildlife for the benefit of everyone. Nature is central to our own health, happiness and economic prosperity so it needs to be at the heart of everything we do.
This region needs more wildlife on land and sea. We help to create and protect wildlife-rich landscapes and seas by working in partnership with landowners, local authorities, businesses and communities; by maintaining over 60 nature reserves and delivering projects to help wildlife; and by defending wildlife when it comes under threat from development and harmful policies.
We’re based here in the UK to ensure that we’re working as hard as possible to make the greatest positive impact to our planet from your donations.
In fact you can come visit us. Our UK headquarters – the Living Planet Centre in Woking – has a visitor and education centre so you can pop in and say ‘hi’
We also have local offices in Edinburgh and Cardiff to make sure that we’re able to make change happen at a local level – no matter where you are in the UK.
