Vervet Monkey Foundation

After various legal battles, Arthur and Dave were permitted to keep Regus, and co-founded the Vervet Monkey Foundation.

[6] The foundation also serves as a centre to provide research and educational opportunities to students and primatologists, for example, in the field of parasitology.

[7] The foundation has run educational workshops for local schools, in order to encourage an interest in the conservation of South Africa's indigenous wildlife.

Through supporting nature's natural process of vegetation creation, both people and monkey will work together to reclaim, transform and protect degraded habitat, restoring it back into a healthy state able to support a multitude of wildlife.

[12] This programme was completed towards the end of 2010 and the foundation is now considered to be a "non-breeding centre", in accordance with guidelines laid down by the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance.
