Go to the website of a conservation society that offers an adopt-a-monkey program. One example is the World Animal Foundation. Many societies offer a virtual adopt-a-monkey program. Adopt-a-monkey programs allow individuals to donate money to protecting the habitats of monkeys. Such a donation goes toward helping monkeys like the squirrel monkeys, an endangered species living in northern South America. Other endangered monkeys helped include the langur and the Guizhou Golen Snub-nosed monkey.

Warning is untrue. Legality is a state law, different in many states. Can also have local ordinances affecting legality requiring a permit or other- or nothing, legal. Please research for correct information.
