Update on Jade
While Jade has been staying at our center, she has continued to bring us joy and has created more opportunities for us to care for her. It has sometimes been challenging because Jade can sometimes be a little stubborn but we have developed a good working relationship. She has been very active, often licking both of her hands, which unfortunately resulted in some small injuries. We have provided care and treatment to help her heal from these injuries.
During our careful observation, and on X-rays, we noticed that at the end of her broken bone, there was a very sharp edge that could cause her discomfort or potentially cut her tissue or skin in the future. To ensure her comfort and safety, we recently performed a minor surgery to trim and smooth out this sharp edge of the bone. That will help to avoid injuries in the future.
Jade is now healing well from her operation. She is walking and is able to use both her hand and arm. Javor is growing and doing well. She is a busy, active girl and has made many friends with other monkeys at the center. Jade uses both hands to hug and to groom Javor. We will continue to monitor her progress and, once she has fully recovered, we plan to return her and Javor back to their natural habitat or suitable environment.
At WCPO, we are dedicated to rescuing and caring for primates in need — from injured, abused, and abandoned monkeys to those facing threats in the wild. Every life we save is a testament to our commitment, but we cannot do it alone.
Your generous donation directly supports our efforts to provide medical care, rehabilitation, and safe habitats for these incredible creatures. With your help, we can continue our vital work to give primates a second chance at life, restore their health, and protect them from threats in the wild.
Join us in making a difference. Your support saves lives, restores hope, and helps preserve the beauty of our natural world. No contribution is too small — every dollar makes a real impact.
