Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

Lee Stewart and the team at the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre in Malawi were called out last weekend (14th / 15th June 2008) to rescue another vervet. 

Like many of the primates that get taken to the Centre, ‘Bingo’ was kept as a pet, tied on the end of a rope. Bingo will now need to spend a month in quarantine before they carefully introduce him to the vervet group. 

Plans are being developed for the release programme which will be aimed at returning the rescued vervets and baboons back to the wild later this year.
