It is not recommended to adopt a monkey as a pet due to the complexities of their needs and potential for harm that may be caused to the human and animal. Instead, those wishing to help monkeys should look to volunteer or donate to organizations who are working for the protection and conservation of wild monkeys and their habitats. Organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund worldwildlife. org/species/monkey> and Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers org/> offer ways to get involved and make a difference for primates around the world.
