Discovering the “kin♑gdom” of rare primates in Cuc Phuong𒁏 National Park
The Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC) in Cuc Phuong National Park is a safe haven for nearly 250 individuals of 14 endangered primate species in need of protection. Established in 1993, EPRC is the first center in Indochina to carry out the mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, breeding, conserving and releasing rare primates of Vietnam back into the wild. With more than 70 cages and 2 semi-wild areas, this place is actively protecting the “treasures” of the old forest such as gibbons, langurs and loris from illegal wildlife trafficking and the risk of extinction.
