Monkey Life is a TV series documenting the work of Dr. Alison Cronin, Jeremy Keeling and their team at Monkey World. Monkey Life follows on from ITV Meridian's Monkey Business. It is based on the work of the largest monkey and ape rescue centre in the world.
Based in Dorset, United Kingdom, this 65 acres (26 ha) sanctuary grew from a humble derelict pig farm, and is now home to over 250 primates from 21 different species.
The TV series is now in its eighth year. Primate Planet Productions Ltd. is based on site, and accompanies Dr. Alison Cronin and her staff on all international and UK rescues documenting the team's work in their ongoing mission to stop the illegal smuggling of primates from the wild.
Monkey World has rescued primates from 18 countries, where they were being mistreated in laboratories, as exotic pets, as photographer's props, or as circus animals. The crew from Primate Planet Productions documents the rescue and re-homing of primates at Monkey World in the Monkey Life series, and then continues to follow their stories as the primates integrate into family groups and settle into their new home with other animals of their own kind.
