The plight of the Sint Maarten Monkeys
A message from Dr. Missy
Primate experts and conservationists are asking Sint Maarten to stop the cull of the island’s green vervet monkeys. The government approved a plan to kill 450 monkeys using $500,000 funded by tax payers. Our collaborative group is offering to sterilize the monkeys and mitigate current monkey-human conflict with humane deterrents. Please join us today to save the monkeys from an unnecessary and cruel death. Sign and share the petition linked on this page. Reach out directly to the government to ask them to stop the slaughter, minvromi@sintmaartengov.org
Thank you for your support.
Please sign the Born Free petition to save the monkeys!
Hundreds of non-native, free-living green monkeys call the Caribbean territory of St. Maarten home. Now, the government plans to kill these animals as a means of controlling the monkeys’ growing numbers.
Please sign and share our petition to the government of St. Maarten, calling for the development of a humane sterilization program that will save the monkeys’ lives and prevent further population growth.
