In August 2009, then-Forest Minister, Mr. Deepak Bohara, ordered the permanent closing of the Lele facility in Nepal and all 300 monkeys are to be rehabilitated and released into the wild! This comes after consultation with the department heads of the ministry, that exporting these primates is illegal.
Whilst it was a tiring and arduous three years, it should not be forgotten that these efforts were made to save Nepal’s almost 300 monkeys who will now run free where they belong, as well as for their offspring who will be born into their natural environment.
The campaign to save Nepal’s monkeys was an opportunity to strike a blow against the global primate research industry. G2H has secured airlines to sign bans on transporting primates for the purpose of vivisection. Although G2H does not have a website, the fight for the global primate industry continues. We will continue to monitor the situation in Nepal with Air Mauritius closely, and if needed, the G2H campaign will return.
G2H was always about taking on the primate supply chain at its weakest points, and in our view, they are currently in our own countries, so we hope to see more pressure against the primate abusers on a local level.
The full magnitude of this achievement has yet to be realized…but on behalf of the nearly 300 monkeys who are about to experience life in their natural environment, and on behalf of their offspring who will never know captivity, we offer you our heartfelt gratitude and thanks.
