Thanks to the generous support of our Global Giving donors, the IPSF has begun construction of
the new home for our rescued vervets. The funds raised to date have enabled us to build a foundation
around the perimeter of the enclosure, to lay the foundation for the night house (sleeping quarters)
within the site and to erect stanchions for the open wire mesh which will form the enclosure's walls.
The vervet's new home is on a beautiful 240 sq. meter site overlooking the scenic Ben Shemen national forest.
The site is located next to an open enclosure of colobus monkeys, which will
provide the vervets with a truly naturalized living experience in an environment near other primates.
The construction was accomplished by members of our dedicated staff, who
were assisted by ten amazingly dedicated volunteers from around Israel.
As the attached pictures show, they, worked tirelessly and
were successful in completing the complete infrastructure for the vervet's new home.
Our vervet population is happily anticipating the move to their new home and the beginning of their new
life in the Sanctuary. We are hopeful that we will be able to raise the remaining funds necessary for this project
in the near future so that we will be able to provide these special creatures with that opportunity.
We are looking forward to the Global Giving Bonus Day on the 15th of June and the Recurring Donor campaign
at the end of the month to help us meet our funding goal.
