The Israel Primate Sanctuary is a non-profit organization, that focuses on the rescue and rehabilitation of monkeys.

Monkeys that come to the sanctuary include those taken out of research laboratories, those smuggled in to the country and kept in difficult conditions, monkeys that people illegally tried to raise in their homes in a futile attempt to make them into pets, and any other monkey in distress.

At the 'Monkey School', at the sanctuary, the monkeys are taught how to reintegrate into the company of other monkeys, which is so important for their mental health. A section of the sanctuary is open to visitors
