Endangered Primate Rescue Center
Mission statement
The Endangered Primate Rescue Center was founded in 1993 to help protect Vietnam’s primates. The EPRC is home to 190 primates from 15 difference species of langurs, lorises, and gibbons. The EPRC rescues, rehabilitates, releases, provides sanctuary, and has a breeding program for certain species.
The EPRC educates many visitors each year about the species in our care, their threats, and what actions people can take to protect them.

Earlier this year, a significant breakthrough was made in one of the projects funded by ASAP’s Species Conservation Fund. After a long search, the dedicated team rediscovered the very first specimen of an Mesilau Stream Toad, thought to have been lost to science.
