The centre, covering 30ha of land inside original forests on the Tien (Fairy) island, is responsible for making on-site inspection to prevent primate poaching and trafficking.

It also conducts research on rare primates’ habitat for rescued animals in the natural environment before freeing them into the forests.

The centre was built at a cost of 500,000 Euro funded by the Monkey World-Ape Rescue Centre of the United Kingdom and the Primate Rescue Centre of Taiwan.

It consists of 10 cages covering almost 700sqm, a feed-processing factory and an office for experts acting like a “Hospital in the forest.” The “Hospital” has a main task to rescue, provide medical treatment and take care of rare animals after rescuing them from cages and before releasing them to the nature.
