Trentham Monkey Forest is a research facility for Barbary macaques and that the forest preserves the natural behaviours of the troops. It is highly important to raise mass awareness so people understand the rapid decline in numbers in the wild population Our monkeys have 60-acres to explore, with no cages or bars and live exactly how they would in the wild.

It is so sad that Barbary macaques are struggling in the wild. We must keep talking about them. It's great what Trentham Monkey Forest is doing for these monkeys, they are amazing. I can’t believe what I have seen. Amazing and beautiful place. Lots of biodiversity is thriving at Trentham Monkey Forest.

It’s great to have babies for visitors and the park team to welcome to the Forest. The 6 new arrivals are doing brilliantly, and we can’t wait to see them develop in the coming weeks and months.

Each birth that we have here is so special. The babies are fascinating to observe for the staff, visitors, and the monkeys too! The males help care for the babies, despite paternity not being known. It’s a fascinating trait as babies play a special passive role, initiating friendly contact amongst group members. It is amazing that we get to see this natural behaviour unfold in front of our eyes
