As I have promised, here is short a video of Amari and Lori, the two macaques we rescued from Angkor. Both have made a remarkable recovery and are in good health, as you can see. We need to keep Amari in a small cage during the time we are unable to give her direct supervision, because she is blind. For the same reason we cannot keep her with other macaques. However she is very happy to have the company of her daughter, Lori, once again and we give them the opportunity to enjoy some time outside their enclosure when we can. After she has been outside for a while Amari sometimes gets a little concerned due to her lack of vision and we then return her to the safety of her cage.
Me and my staff have a great deal of work with our wildlife rescue, care and release programs and daily updates are not possible, but we will keep you informed of the progress of these two as we are able. Lori was in very bad shape when she arrived with us. She was totally blind and immobile and now has reasonable vision and is able to get about quite well, as you can see. Her future seems bright. Her Mother, Amari, is blind and elderly, with the problems that this brings with it. We will always do our best for her and she is contented now, but her time is probably limited. Thank you all for your interest and support, without which we could not continue with our task to crack down on the extremely cruel illegal wildlife trade and ensure that the animals we rescue receive an appropriate outcome. My very best wishes to you all. Nick

We’ve received many inquiries recently about when Amari and Lori will be placed in an enclosure together. Even our Director spoke to our nursery team this week about this subject, and he was very satisfied with their response. The nursery team does not believe Lori is strong or coordinated enough yet to be placed in a larger enclosure. At this point in time, they do not wish to risk potential further injury. We appreciate all of their fans want to see them reunited, as do we, however even our Director defers to the experts, our nursery keepers, when it comes to the care of all of our infant primates. So, for the time being, we will all just have to continue to wait!

Lori Update
Still coming along and leaps and bounds little Lori is doing well. It’s great to see the progression in her condition as she goes from moving around her enclosure at the ground level only to now climbing up and down the branches placed inside. Occasionally she still slips and falls, which is why it’s important she builds her strength and coordination in a smaller enclosure first before we consider moving her.
Amari Update
No new diagnosis updates yet. She’s been provided with parasite control and some vitamins and is still undergoing some further diagnostics. Despite this, the team is still happy with how she’s progressing and she certainly seems content as long as she’s receiving regular meals! Despite loving all of her afternoon snacks, as seen here in this video, it’s become quite evident she’s not a fan of sweet potatoes as she drops these on the ground for the Keeper’s to clean up!
October 19, 2018 -Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center
Amari Update
As always, Amari is happily stuffing herself with all food presented to her! Here she is enjoying her ‘monkey breakfast’ a meal of peanuts, sweet potatoes and a bit of rice to provide extra carbohydrates and protein and encourage foraging behavior! She still has not put on weight despite a well balanced and nutritious diet and is undergoing further diagnostics. Despite this, she is still bright, more and more comfortable with her surroundings! We will keep you updated on her condition.
Lori Update
Lori’s tail injury is fully healed and the hair is starting to grow back. She is getting regular exercise outside of the enclosure under the close supervision of staff. Her strength and coordination continue to improve. The caretaking staff is very happy with her progress. Lori would like to pass on her thanks to her adoring fans for your continued support!
October 3, 2018 -Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center
The girls are both doing really well! Lori’s cognitive function continues to improve daily and she is now communicating with the Keepers. Her tail is still healing and quite sensitive, however, the vets are happy with the progression. Amari’s voracious appetite shows no signs of diminishing and we’re starting to see her put on weight and body condition, which is a good sign. She’s very keen on inspecting anyone who approaches her enclosure, mostly checking if you’re bringing treats!

Amari & Lori FAQs
1. Lori’s eyesight. It appears to be improving. We suspect her loss of sight was associated with her head injury rather than her eyes themselves. Fingers crossed for further recovery.
2. Amari & Lori sharing enclosures or being housed next door to each other. This is not currently possible. Given Lori’s current condition she is not strong enough to be in a larger enclosure like Amari or the same style of enclosures next to her. Perhaps in the future, only time will tell.
3. Lori sharing an enclosure with other juvenile Macaques. This is also not currently possible given her condition. We do not want to risk any possible further injury or any undue psychological stress. Again, perhaps in the future, this may be possible. We will continue to assess as she progresses.
4. Visiting Amari & Lori. For the foreseeable future, both girls will remain in our nursery section which is not accessible to the public. This is to ensure they are receiving round the clock care from our dedicated nursery keeping staff. We will keep you posted if or when this changes.
Day to day they both continue to improve, grow stronger, and we are very happy with their progress thus far. Both girls are very sweet and you can see their relationship with the keepers evolving as they build trust and become familiar with them.
Don’t forget you can support their ongoing care by donating to ‘Care for Rescued Wildlife’ via the button below.

Amari’s blood samples confirmed heightened blood sugar levels and our vets are drawing up a treatment plan. She continues to eat all the food put in front of her and is gaining weight, all good signs!

Lori is also settling well, the wound on her tail healing slowly. She is moving and feeding herself on her own and gaining strength each day though she will need much more strength before she can join Amari in the larger enclosure.
For now, Lori is in a small enclosure so that she does not suffer any falls causing more damage while she heals from the many injuries to her spine and leg.
The girls are close and under constant supervision from nursery staff as they recover.
Let’s hope each day brings them a little more strength!
September 8-9, 2018 -Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center
Firstly we would sincerely like to say ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone who has donated to Amari & Lori’s care at Phnom Tamao. We truly appreciate your support.
Both girls continue to do well.
Lori continues to grow stronger every day and we continue to see small improvements in her condition daily, particularly her mobility. She is certainly a fighter!
Amari has settled in very well and is quite comfortable in her new abode. She’s got quite the appetite and we’re pleased to report is happily licking her plate clean at every meal!
Looking forward………it is highly likely that both Amari & Lori will continue to require ongoing care for the rest of their lives. It would appear as though they are unlikely to ever fully recover and as such we will continue to provide them refuge. Our goal at Wildlife Alliance is always releasing, and we are proud to say we are able to release approximately 80% of the animals that are donated to us or confiscated. However not all animals are fit for release back into the wild, due to either physical or psychological conditions, and Phnom Tamao provides those individuals with a safe place to call home. It is likely that both Amari & Lori will become permanent residents however we will be sure to keep you updated on any changes.
Thank you again for your support and also your understanding. We hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend and we’ll be back Monday with the next update!
September 7, 2018 -Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center
Amari climbed the small structures in her enclosure and polished off all of hers quickly; a good sign showing she is comfortable in her new surrounds. Lori, though finding it difficult to feed herself, munched through her food with the help of her carers. We are happy with how the pair is showing good appetites! Hopefully, this will add to their strength, though they still have a long road to recovery.
September 6, 2018 -Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center
Our most recent update: Amari is settling into her new home well and a treatment plan for her is being assessed. Her baby, Lori, is still under close supervision from nursery staff to ensure she does not hurt herself any further. Both have healthy appetites however, at this stage, it is too early to tell if Lori will be able to fully recover from her spinal injuries and nerve damage. Our vets have been giving them the best care they can from the moment they arrived at Phnom Tamao.
September 5, 2018
The Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team (WRRT) traveled to the temples of Angkor to rescue a female macaque and her infant, known as Amari and Lori.
The monkeys were donated to the team by a concerned individual who had them under his care after noticing the pair’s poor health and removing them from the forest to care for them.
The WRRT have successfully taken the monkeys to Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center, where they will be assessed and treated by our veterinary staff. The youngster, Lori, is being provided treatment and is in critical condition. Amari is doing well and has already eaten up the fruits and vegetables provided in her new enclosure. They will remain under 24 hour supervision by our nursery staff.
If you would like to donate towards Amari and Lori’s care, please make a donation to “Care for Rescued Wildlife” and mention the Angkor monkeys in the comments.
A lot of people love Amari and Lori.
I will miss both mommy amari and baby Lori please i would love updates on them or leave me a place i can look for there updates.
God Bless and thank you for helping
These monkeys have been through so much….especially the baby Lori. She has has multiple head wounds, and it is a miracle she survived. She is a real fighter! PLEASE keep us updated as much as possible. If you could post some photos or video it would be great. These monkeys are so loved, even by people thousands of miles away. Thank you so much for helping them!
if you cant afford to take care of these monkeys, put them to sleep. Dont ask for donations!
Please watch your language.. no need to be rude
I cannot imagine someone so desperate for atten have no life to come and harass a rescue. You were spot on Thyy are rude and pathetic.
Babs McAfee The videographers and Vet that cared for Amari and Lori in the interim put up with this on a daily basis I hope they delete his ugly comment it does not belong here.
Why so mean?☮️
If you dont love monkeys,or dont like to give money for care,only take your way out and close the door,and let others persons love and help monkeys.
Are you saying that if some of the out there can’t afford to send money that they shouldn’t be allowed to see what progress Amari and Lori are making?
When are you snowflakes going to understand that people can do and say what they want? You don’t pay their electricity, Internet, or phone bill, when you pay mine, you can dictate to me what I can watch or say. Isn’t it enough for you that many people in Cambodia can’t feed their children but people like you were demanding them to buy milk, food, blankets, and vet bills?
Many of you that claim that you love and care so much about the monkeys but threaten to pay someone to poison, maim, beat, or throw some monkeys out in front of traffic. Why? Because they are acting like monkeys. Monkeys kidnap, monkeys will abuse other monkeys, they care for their infants but once they are not acting up to human standards there are some that want a baby removed from their mothers. Some claim that the mother never wanted that baby to begin with. They can’t comprehend or relate to a wanted or unwanted pregnancy. The mother monkeys should know when to wean and don’t need interference from the videographers to give this one milk supplement.
Please people if you truly love them and care about their welfare. Watch and just leave them alone. They have been on this earth without your help for centuries and will probably be here after we’ve died.
Love to know how both doing
I notice listed Lori as in critical condition. So sad. I still believe less than honorable vos are directly and indirectly responsible. The gov’t needs to set up a vetting process of the vos to keep the bad ones out.
Really worried for the poor baby.
Amari not so much.
Me. McAfee. With all due respect, you are talking about a third world country that does not have the funds to take care of their own adults and children. Their government does not function like the US, UK, Canada, EU countries, China, Japan, etc. I am all for animal rights however human rights should always take precedence. The amount of energy, time, and monies being spent on 2 monkeys (keep in mind they are considered equal to rodents due to their uncontrollable numbers and amount of destruction, seriously look at what the temple grounds have turned into in the past year) I fear is for nothing. I hope I am wrong however look through this website and blog. There are not a lot of updates on any of the animals that have been rescued and sent there. The description given on the main webpage states this facility specializes in endangered and exotic animals, which Amari and Lori are neither. I just do not want to see a lot of upset and jaded people react and post threats to this place if the decision is made to euthanize or no updates are provided. Let’s be honest, reading through the comments on YouTube, there are a lot of angry people there that have no problem disrespecting, slandering, or threatening anyone (young, old, male, female, etc.). I have been following these monkeys for years and I truly hope for the best however I keep reminding myself of the reality of the situation, where this is occurring, and who it is occurring to [2 monkeys in an exotic/endangered animal rescue facilty that operates on donations and government funds in a 3rd world country – that eats monkeys (remember Brutus)]. I do not mean to offend anyone by these remarks and I apologize in advance if I have. Just being realistic. Good luck Lori and Amari, Jack, Jill, Brutus Jr. and Polly miss you.
Please go research the. That type of monkey is definitely on the endangered list internationally. This is due to their use as lab research animals being exported by the thousands.
@ Anida Westbrook – alas, the Long-tailed Macaque (also called the ‘crab-eating macaque’) is listed on the IUCN list as ‘least concern’ (LC) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab-eating_macaque] – they are diminishing in parts of Cambodia and across SE Asia due to deforestation, but across the introduced parts of their range, the animals are growing in numbers and there are plans to come up with ways to limit their fertility. They are a terribly invasive species where they’ve been introduced. YES, monitoring is needed by they are by no means endangered at this time.
Humans control the earth…therefore, it’s our DUTY to care for the animals. If you watch the macaques at Anghor Wat, anyone would recognize that they are loving groups, who love their families, their children and want to live just like humans. Their habitats have diminished. The earth has many children…not just humans! We must care for them! How can anyone say they are rodents?? Thank you Wildlife Alliance for your care of Amari, Lola and Lori. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless Cambodia for figuring out a way that man can live with animals…and they can thrive!
Babs McCaffee,
What a sad day when we others in our Youtube group must get on here to champion our beloved videographers reputations! But i do it GLADLY. The lies and paranoia I can understand with both a mental health background as well as an understanding that our Own species of primate is known to be less than noble at times. But, IF we are to continue to evolve and thrive, this is what we must do. Specifically, to stand against hate mongering toward those who deserve to be protected AND respected. In the vein of making the world a better place…like this Organization does daily – I WILL take the time to protect those who need it – our photographers with hearts of platinum gold who day after day sit in the Temples a world away creating joy for us on the way WAY other side of the Earth. I think it will be obvious to anyone who reads your hate-speak in the midst of ALL THIS GRATITUDE will see that you are indeed, not to be given credence to your silly accusations.
My reply on Tater’s comment was meant for you but it went into his comment. Please read it. Thank you
I am so grateful to you all and to Sochhun Ley and the few good guys for all the love and the respect for life they have shown. Please disregard haters here and know millions more love this pair. Thank you for all of your great, quick, up to the moment information you have sent us. Send our love too to Nick Marx! Love!
Yay!! Thank you so much for taking Amari and Lori. They’ve had a hard time and little Lori has been thru many accidents. Looking forward to updates on them.
Congratulations to all involved, now they will have a place to finish their days. Queen Amari and Princess Lori may God bless them.
And the real men who did everything to save both, many blessings. The amber group will not be the same without them, tears! From Brazil
Well actually the amber group will be exactly the same without them considering Amari and Lori are from AMARIS troop , she was the alpha queen , seperate from ambers group :p I hope they both pull thru and can be released back to their troupe idk what they will become without their alpha ): I hate dolly ):
Congratulations to all involved, now they will have a place to finish their days. Queen Amari and Princess Lori may God bless them.

The Ankgor Monkeys, Amari and Lori were actually being taken care of by the people who recorded them for public viewing at Youtube. The mother, who was fast losing her eyesight, didn’t take good care of her baby well over the last few months and she almost died a few times. They recently fell from a height of about 18 feet, Amari grabbed Lori to escape from an aggressive male monkey from another troop. Lori became unconscious. These people have fed Lori who was previously bitten by the male monkey of another troop and then her tail was ran over by a bike and much more happened to this little monkey Lori. They helped her and the reason they are now here with you is because they saved them. They did the best they could. So to say you rescued them from these people, ahh,,, well sure this is a much much better place. But I give them some credit for removing them from a deadly scenario. I think you will find most of us watchers of this troop, whom Amari was queen, will feel this way. Thanks for caring for them!
lynn bernasky Respectfully sayin that’s not what the write up said. IN part they say “they traveled to the temples of Angkor to rescue a female macaque and her infant, Rescue to them is to help a species in need of care. Sochhun Ley called them Which Amari and Lori needed more care than what our caring people of Angkor Wat could provide them. Yes they deserve alot of credit and especially for knowing that they could not this time provide the adequate care they needed and then made a plea to this most kind Organization. That speaks volume. God Bless!
I’m glad that Sochhun called, I and other had suggested such. God bless you too. I love that little Lori, she’s such a kind monkey – strange thing to say, but she is.
Thank you so much for giving us a glimmer of hope for Amari and Lori. As a long time follower of this pair on Youtube, they’ve become near and dear to my heart; and it’s been so difficult watching the misfortune they have encountered over the last few months. I adore baby Lori, she is such an inspiration the way she just ‘keeps going’ no matter what. Watching Amari with those huge carrots and all the fresh vegetables, Amari probably thinks she’s hit the lottery! My prayers to all those dedicated in helping these animals; and continued prayers for Amari and Lori. Please do keep us informed either way.
Haha you said it, Robin! The hit the lottery of life with this place. I’m so happy for our Queens!
lynne bernasky…REALLY? This is not YouTube so please be respectful! This place did rescue Amari and Lori and Lori should’ve been taken here in 1st place when she got hit in the head. The sanctuary will give them real vet care so just stop with all the drama!!
It’s okay, sweetie, I know everyone’s nerves are raw, we are all hurting, and there will be misunderstandings, but if you go back and read Lynne’s post again, she didn’t say anything bad. Big hug from me! We all need hugs today!
Quarky Chick-I contacted the sanctuary yesterday via email. They were very nice to answer me. They said Lori was in critical condition, but had shown some improvements since arriving. Of course they are too busy for daily updates, but said any updates they posted would be on their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/PTWRC/
Their email was very nice and gave me a short history of the Alliance. They are wonderful folks. In case you don’t see this I will find an old post and send to you that way.

I ADORE Amari and Lori. Don’t be fooled- this is a Queen & her princess, a future queen. Lori is the last daughter of Amari and in spite of a traumatic brain injury last May 4th, she has re-gained her cognitive skills and compensated for a neurolocally weakened set of limbs except for her left hand. She has has many injuries since May, I’m sure her compromised physical state makes her a target. We’ve all seen her mother, Amari weaken very fast. Finally she lost her eyesight. She was attacked by a rival troop because she had lost her own and wandered into their zone. Thousands of people have followed these monkeys on YouTube. We are all emotionally at odds today- fearing never to hear about them again, yet thrilled the camara guys at Angkor Wat reached out to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this update!
AMEN!
Very well said Lora M. I hope one day we can call Lori, Queen Lori!
Lora, Thank you for your wonderful post! I have watched today’s videos and cried my heart out.
I sincerely hope they keep us posted on their health and just videos to visit with them for a little bit. I bet
they also have a youtube channel for us to follow. I’m sure a Webcam would be asking too much!
I’m excited for both of the girls to be able to be treated. Thanks to everyone involved~ JeanneB in Tennessee
Many thanks to all at Wildlife Alliance for what you are doing for Amari and Lori and all the other animals in your care.
Thank you for referencing your donations page and what you will be doing.
I will be glad to share your link through my fb page
With much gratitude
Niniane
Thank you all for taking care of these 2. Queen Amari and Lori are very special and loved by many. You’ll see when you get to know them! Thanks again and God bless you all!
Oh my god so happy. I have watched these two forever and I love them.Wishing a sanctuary would take them!!!Love You Queen Amari and baby Lori get well.Keep us posted.?????
Thank you for taking care of Lori and Amari. The vos who rescued them love them very much as do people around the world. The vos did all they could, but knew they needed more comprehensive care which is why they contacted numerous sources trying to get the mom and daughter help. Its heartbreaking and joyous at the same time. Please do everything you can to help them. And please keep us updated on their treatment and progress.
Thank you from USA
I love them. Please keep us inform. Loves from Turkey
Thank you for accepting Queen Amari and her warrior Princess Lori. This pair is loved and adored. Honestly, I believe watching them saved me a few months ago. Please give them your best…. and thank you to the brave people who were caring for them before you arrived.
Wow. That’s a powerful post. Bless you!
Thank you so much for rescuing this charismatic Matriarch, Amari, and her precious little princes Lori. I, as well as thousands of YouTube viewers have become very attached to this pair which we hold near and dear to our heart. The attention, compassion and love shown by the Vet, and the VO’s at Angkor for Amari and Lori has been compelling and unsurpassed. They went over and above in so many ways to attend to their needs and because of this, we are all very grateful to them. Nevertheless, I am very appreciative that your organization has accepted this extraordinary pair into your sanctuary and that you will give them the medical attention they so desperately need. I look forward to updates on how they are doing.
These two macaques have been heavily exploited by a group of amateur YouTube “videographers” for the last several months. They have attracted something of a dedicated following who, as you may have gauged from previous comments, have unfortunately anthropomorphized them into “characters” rather than wild animals, often referring to them as “pets” or “royalty” and encouraging the “videographers” to interfere with them on an almost daily basis. I simply thought that your organization should be aware of the particular “interest” in these monkeys, and be prepared for any harassment you might receive from their “fan club”, particularly if the unfortunate decision must made to euthanize one or both of them (particularly the infant “Lori”)
Thank you.
I am sure they will do what’s best. Are you willing to accept it if they decide no to kill Amari or Lori? Because we all know that for every 20 of us advocating for the monkeys; there is one nasty troll that comes along that hates them demanding their death. I wouldn’t count Lori out yet. I think if they ‘wake her up’ from all that drowsy medication she is on, get her on a therapy routine, she might just bounce back fine. But again, another troll demanding the death of Lori.
Robin;
This is an embarrassment! It’s a unique opportunity, though, for the world to see what EXACTLY the Wildlifealliance.org is up against in its fight against poaching and other atrocities they are missioned to remedy!
Their ignorance speaks volumes, and again, as i have been saying in our channels, it’s NOT ok to ignore them. It’s necessary to say how utterly UNACCEPTABLE such hate-speak is and then DO SOMETHING. My “something” is to reach out to the vo’s – in the Khmer language via google translate – and ask them to block comments wishing harm on the monkeys. By doing nothing we make it even harder for the Wildlifealliance.org to do their job. And i want them to do their job. For my children, grandchildren and on and on.
We are stronger.
It is not that we viewers want them exploited in no shape or form, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know these macaques are wild animals! Give your head a shake! Like you (obviously) watch and become “fans” of wild animals of all kinds. For you to assume that us “fans” will harass or send “harassing” notes to the wildlife alliance is absurd, where do you have the gumption to make such stupid assumptions??? If us “fans” watched these monkeys for months/years, the best you could have done was give us the benefit of the doubt and SEE that we (thousands if not millions from all over the world) have become fond and grew to love and care for LORI and Amari, just as we would have with any other injured animal. So with that being said, why the hell would it upset us “fans/followers” on the treatment if these two macaques? If it weren’t for us thousands of followers, would AMARI and Lori be where they are now? I highly doubt it! They’d be dead by now. Whatever treatment they get by this “God sent” group of people at the wildlife centre is hell of a lot better that what’s at Angkor Watt, far better,so wake up and smell the roses! Why be so judgemental of people like myself who have watched these macques for years. I speak for thousands of fans or followers or what ever you want to call us, we are so GRATEFUL and THANKFUL they are being cared for and medically treated.
I am crying today over this lovely baby Princess Lori and Amari who really was Queen of the Jungle. These two have a fan following of thousands all over the world. Lori came back from severe head trauma in May back to climbing trees and being an adorable sweet monkey that she is. Since then numerous events have happened, many unexplainable, but she survived. Please care for this baby and her mom. Thank you for making the drive to get them. The world is watching now.
Yes !! The World is watching… Thank you to every single person who loved , cared for, did their very best with what they had , to help Lori & Amari.. May God keep all safe & blessed . Although I find I am relived that they will be looked after in a safer place , I am sad that I will not see them everyday. In my heart I know it is best this way.
Eileen Miller I’m sad too that I will not see them everyday! But Sochhun Ley from Angkor Wat did the right thing by contacting this most kind Organization so they could get the help they needed. It must have been hard for Sochhun to sign the release papers for these monkeys. He loved both them so much. I’m with you, ” In my heart I know it is best this way.”
Since the world is watching and we’ve all been asking them to be rescued, it would be great. If we could make donations to the group taking them in. Rescue groups in the US sometimes have trouble because the care often outweighs budgets and donations. I’m sure they’d be thrilled if we could all donate what we can. There are links for donating and we just have to put their names on it….
Glad to see these two here but they and the rest of the monkeys in that area have been exploited by a group of locals taking video and posting on YouTube just to make money.
Amari and Lori were removed from the park and were in the “care” of a “vet” in which they were constantly being filmed by multiple VO’s. They allowed Lori to fall off a table numerous times and fall all over herself repeatably hitting her already traumatized brain, also they pumped both of them full of who knows what as seen both being doped up and glassy eyed.
The exploitation needs to be stopped by this group of people that only care about money, not the well being of these animals.
Thanks for taking care of these two, wish they got here sooner and not have been subjected to torture by people that only care about money. I hope the people involved are arrested and charged so they cease the behavior that harms all of these animals.
It was Sochhun Ley from Angkor Wat that contacted this Organization for help for Amari and Lori. Please there is no need to for such a comment to this Organization when it was the caring VO’s that contacted them. Thank You!
Jon, I have to tell you that you’re wrong. Watching the character that baby Lori grew into, the kindness that she displayed, despite the fact that she was so hurt all the time, made me a better person. When I didn’t want to live with all the disabilities that I have, I watched that little girl, go through it time and time again and come out the other side – still a kind monkey to the babies. She is an exceptional monkey, and we would not have known her, if it wasn’t for the videos and the VO’s. So Jon, i’m sorry but you’re wrong about the Vo’s on this one. If it weren’t for them, we would’ve never known Lori .
If you truly want to believe what you are saying that’s fine, but how many videos showed Lori falling all over herself hitting her head on concrete, falling off that table, rolling around in her excrement. All while these “caring VO’s’ were mocking and laughing at her. There was no attempt to put Lori in a padded box, cage or put padding on the floor. They kept her up and moving just for video views to make money.
How many times have they videotaped feeding the monkeys in the road with cars and mopeds driving by? Then the next video is “million tear baby run hit by car”
That “vet” is a quack, nobody that has even the basics of medical care would dare not to wear gloves, use the same needle over and over, let a patient with obvious brain trauma be able to hurt themselves further and have cameras in their face 24 hours a day. The “vet” didn’t even know to put whatever the crushed pills were in the syringe and put the plunger back in, nor actually measure a correct dose.
Maybe Sochhun actually cares for them but he obviously had no problem with all the VO’s that were at their batcave house harassing Lori and Amari the entire time they had them trapped.
I don’t know what world you live in but people that care do not put others in danger just so they can profit financially.
Thank you so much for caring for Amari and Lori!!! As you can see..they are famous!!
Please keep us updated on their progress!! Lots of prayers being said for this pair ❤️.
I’m a veterinarian in the US. I’ve been watching these monkeys for the past 2-3 years, and have become personally invested in their lives. I want to personally thank you for intervening on their behalf. From Lori’s history and observation, I don’t think her prognosis is good, however, it’s reassuring to know you’ll make the appropriate decisions after your assessments. I wish there were more people like all of you, in this world. True compassion and caring are fast becoming a thing of the past, I fear. I’ll be checking in from time to time to see how they’re doing. Thank you and take care…
I have cried many tears today, because I will miss these macaques, Amari and daughter Lori, so much. I have watched them and their troopmates for a couple of years now, so I saw Amari every day, then Lori too when she was born. Amari was a tough, but fair, alpha female, and Lori was so much like her mom, fearless, and independent, from when she first started walking. Her playmates loved her, and she loved them. Amari was always quick to defend her females, and also quick to treat their wounds, and was never cruel. I am really going to miss seeing her and Lori every day. I hope their health improves, and I hope they are happy. Give them a nanner (banana) from me!
Jerome Walker checkin in here. Great job by all involved. Were happy to see the results of many peoples efforts in helping these two monkeys live.
Me apaixonei por Lori através dos videos postados no YOUTUBE. Acredito que sou mais uma entre milhares espalhados pelo mundo que se apaixonaram por ela. Agradeço por terem acolhido Mãe e filha, e que elas possam ter um lar sob seus cuidados. Espero em breve poder ve-las correndo e saltitando neste paraíso. Brasil-BR
Please do not give up on Lori the baby. She has an iron will to live. I personally believe the majority of accidents were anything but an accident. Give her a chance.
I will be forever grateful to Mr. Sochhun for naming Lori after me. I will miss seeing them daily. I love you little Lori and your Mami Amari!
Thank you all for taking these two beautiful creatures in, they are well loved by so many. Amari will always be Queen in my heart and Lori will be Princess forever. Prayers to both that they can live a life of happiness.
Thank you for taking in both Amari and Lori. They are adored by many throughout the world. I’m at odds with what the videographers do by filming the various monkey troupes as I know it disrupts their natural behavior. However, had I not happened upon these videos, I would never have gained the appreciation I now have for the long-tailed macaques (common) and the pigtails (considered vulnerable). I am hoping that you’ll give updates as to the status of both Amari and Lori, even if it’s not the news I’m hoping for. My gut is telling me that they are at the end of their days, but I’d rather have the truth with an explanation of the the damage that has been done than to never hear about them again. I have a feeling that there are many who would appreciate the closure if that is the outcome. Regardless of the outcome, I plan on donating to your organization. I see that you sell sponsorships of various animals. Maybe you could put Amari and Lori in that list. I have a feeling you’d see an increase in your donations. Namaste.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This comes from the bottom of my heart as I’m sure others as well. These two macaques have been through so much. Little Lori has got to be one of the most determined of champions ever with her will to live! Just when I thought at various times her end was imminent she surprised us all with her resilience and fight to carry on. As you can tell, there are many many people that love her and have watched her daily life with anticipation and excitement. I pray now that she and Amari will be able to continue their life adventures whether that be there with you or released back to their troupe healthy and happy! To all the VO’s at Angkor Wat, you are wonderful. All of your love for theses monkeys along with filming there lives have brought us such joy. As for me, you have taught me so much about these amazing animals and for that I can’t thank you enough! Please, please continue your great work so our joy and love for these monkeys can continue. Blessings to all from Wisconsin U.S.A.
I made a donation and will try to donate more asap. Thank you for taking in Queen Amari and Princess Lori. They are loved by thousands of people from all over. Bless you all! Much love – Sam
How is Amari and Lori this morning? Did they get there safely?
Yes they got there safely. They said Lori was Critical and amari eats a lot.
Thank you all who helped Amari and Lori. Desperation had set in and I fear one or both would have died. I’m sure everyone feels a bit better that they are getting help.
Much love and gratitude to all. Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING QUEEN AMARI AND SWEET PRINCESS BABY LORI. THEY ARE SO VERY SPECIAL AND JUST NEED LOVE AND CARE. PLEASE DON’T SEPARATE THEM. LOVE THEM AND GIVE THEM ALL THE CARE THEY NEED PLEASE. PRECIOUS BABY LORI IS SO STRONG AND A FIGHTER WITH SUCH A STRONG WILL TO LIVE. BE PATIENT WITH HER AND SHE WILL SURPRISE YOU BEYOND ALL EXPECTATIONS. EVEN THOUGH AMARI AND LORI ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD THEY HAVE BECOME SUCH A SPECIAL PART OF ME AND HOLD A STRONG PLACE IN MY HEART. I PRAY YOU WILL GIVE US UPDATES OFTEN ON THESE TWO SPECIAL LIVES. BE VERY HAPPY DEAR QUEEN AMARI AND MY PRECIOUS SWEET PRINCESS BABY LORI. YOU ARE VERY LOVED.
I will be donating to help with Amari and Lori’s care and treatment.. please keep us updated..thank you
Thank you for taking in Amari and Lori. They have folks who love them all over the world! Please keep us updated.
Again thanks for all you do or wildlife!
Also, those who love Lori & Amari and all wildlife should consider giving a donation to this Wildlife Alliance. They have a donation tab on this site and it is all very easy. Our money could help take care of our two loves, Amari & Lori. Bless them and all the folks at Angkor and here who took and are taking care of them.
Thank you so much and please keep us updated on their health, very worried all they way from Austin, Texas. They are being prayed for. Love you Lori and Amari.
Just like to point out that Lori is not an infant. She was born around December 14, 2017 according to the videos on YouTube. That makes her almost nine months old in 10 days. She has her teeth and is more than capable of living on her own. As for her mother I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She is the only skinny adult monkey among all of the other overweight monkeys. She could be diabetic which would account for decreased vision. However she is mobile and clearly eating that is given to her. I guess the vets at the wildlife center can do a better diagnosis. I’ll have to give the VO’s and the local vet some credit for taking action to help these wild monkeys. They probably would have died prematurely without the help. My only question now is why didn’t they pick up the monkey with the leg half torn off?
That makes her an infant 9 months old is an infant in macaca fascicularis
Thank you for rescuing Lori & Amari. I’m so happy . Bless you
I want to thank your rescue center for taking these 2 very loved monkey’s!!The Vo’s did what they could with out having the training to take care of such injuries as Lori’s and Amari’s illness! I have shed tear’s over this sweet gentle baby over the time since her birth til now! I have even prayerd for her safety and her healing! I never thought I would be praying for a couple of animal’s I have never seen in person but these 2 are so special! It has been a joy to be able to watch baby Lori as she grew and cheerfully lived her very trying short life so far! I pray she can get well enough to at least be able to live out her day’s eating her favorite Lotus seed’s and being groomed and cuddled for many year’s to come!
Please do update all of us regularly who love her and Amari the fearless Queen with video’s and picture’s!
Bless all of you who work to rescue animal’s like these two and take care of them!
Put both of them to sleep Amari is sick and to old you can tell shes been hurting for so long. Lori is brain dead for sure put her to sleep shes been thru so much already stop making her suffer and put her to sleep!!!
How would you feell if someone made that decision for you? Lori is a very resilient baby. She has survived so much and the only reason that the VO’s brought her back to her mother, is because she cried for her every day. Now the Lord has created a perfect existence for her with her mother. I was praying for this ever since Lori was sent back to the troop. Please have faith !
I am so happy to see these monkeys can be taken care of by professionals who have their best interests at heart rather than exploited on YouTube, given poor diet, and questionable medical treatment. I hope if they live, they do so peacefully and with minimal human intervention. And if they are suffering, it will end promptly. Thank you for stepping in.
To those of you that are blaming the videographers for these monkeys problems please remember they had no choice Amari was wandering around in the streets with Lori following or in tow. One of those videographers was the person who called this organization and one of my personal friends. So please just stop this ridiculousness now. This is a place of hope and help this is not YouTube. Please donate to help this organization. Please copy and paste the link to this story so people me make donations.
And please stop this bickering and name-calling it is embarrassing and uncalled for.
I have been following these two monkeys sense Sochhun ley started the hole Angkor Wat wildlife videography phenomena. That’s been perhaps for years now? At any rate we all have a lot invested in these animals and want to see them taking care of in the best way possible. Blaming the videographer does absolutely nothing to help the situation. This sort of thing happens daily around the world with non-human primates then without these videographers there would be nobody here to donate and help these animals. Your donations will help these two monkeys as well as countless other animals that are being cured for by this Wildlife Alliance organization.
Clown whisper
100% agree!! This isnt youtube. Stop being rude about them being cared about. They might be “wild aminals” but they deserve a chance too when possible. I think lori will be ok with time. It hasnt been that long. The brain needs time to heal. She was already doing better. Not perfect, but better then the first few days. I think amari is diabetic and thats why she eats and drinks alot but is skinny. And shes old of course.
Please take good care of sweet Lori – I’ve fallen in love with the little one for the past many months and am so sad for her. Please keep Amari near Lori.
Please DONATE for Lori and Amari to Wildlife Alliance.
I am so relieved that Lori and Amari were transferred to your sanctuary. Did they do well during the trip? Lori is the bravest, most tenacious little warrior. She loves life. Please help her to recover her sparkling spirit.
Amari and (especially) Lori were injected with multiple drugs. Please give Lori time to come out of her drugged condition, before her prognosis is made.
Jeanne Peters, thank you for your submission in the amount of $50.00 to Wildlife Alliance, Inc.. A confirmation email will be sent.
Jeanne Peters Great comment and Yes I will!
Jeanne Peters Adding Great comment on the donation not on she was injected with multiple drugs for we don’t know that.
Hello Sanctuary Vets and Staff,
Thank you for efforts to save Amari and Lori. I previously mentioned that Lori received BID injections of 2 to 4 different medications in the 3 days prior to her transfer to your facility. We don’t know, but the Vos can contact the gentleman for help identifying the drug. Hopefully; IV fluid will help flush her body. Please give Lori time…. she is a truly amazing and resilient little monkey. She loves life. I hope so much you can help her thrive again
Jeanne Colorado Cares
Hello Diane,
We all saw a man inject Lori with medications twice daily for 3 days. All veterinarians would want to get a history on recent meds. I attempted to alert them and ask the vets to give Lori extra time for IV fluids to flush her little body. I hope she can fight to live a better life.
Jeanne Colorado Cares
Hello Jean Try not to worry, I’m sure Sochhun and the Vet at Angkor Wat gave the Rescue team all the information they need. After call Sochhun is the one that called The Rescue Centre when they realized Lori needs much more than they could provide. It’s kind of like going from a Small Town Hospital to a Big City Hospital where they are more equipped and more knowledgeable.on what is best for Lori. #PrayersForAmariand Lori
Thank you!!! Oklahoma USA
Finally, I found you, Amari and Lori and I see you have arrived safely at the Rescue Center. I will love you and follow you both until my last breath. Stay strong sweet girls!
My heart filled thanks to the Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Alliances for taking Queen Amarillo and baby Lori into your care. You have been sent blessings from hundreds and hundreds of people…. May you all receive your blessing 10 fold.
Thanks for helping. I’m hopingmore people will donate to help. I did what I could at the time, but hope to help more in the future. What i hope and wish for is these monkeys will be nurse back to health. I understand there is a very small chance that AMARI will get her sight back, but what about Lori? Will she be returned to her family if she gets well? I understand if she has a permanent impairment then maybe not. But if it is possible that’s what I would like. Not to be able to see her grow because they are a FAMILY. I cried knowing I’d never see these to again. Before this I wanted to travel there and actually meet this troop, probably still will. All I want is what’s best for them. Even if it’s putting them down but please PLEASE, before doing that know Lori is a fighter and came back from other injuries no one thought she could come back from. Please give her that chance! Thanks Again. SANDRA
Much love and gratitude for saving these monkeys please keep us informed how they are doing thank you
It’s a new day and I hope little Lori is still amongst the living. I realise she’s being treated and assessed, that’s the important thing. There’s one thing for sure…None of this has affected Amari’s appetite! I just want to thank you, again, for all that you do. If Lori has any viable chance at life, I know you’ll give it to her. She’s on the brink of death and it’s comforting to know she’s being treated with compassion and expertise. Should she somehow survive this, I will be sponsoring her as well as her mother, Amari. I appreciate your updating those of us who love and adore Lori and Amari. I’ll check in a bit later for any new updates.
Lindsey,
So good to know there is a compassionate vet among us, as well! It didn’t seem real until I saw their video. I cried as if she were mine. Crying now in fact! It was the words written in the video that blew my mind. Spinal and nerve damage, spasms all have a bad prognosis. When they said they were going to help her manage her pain, I really lost it! I felt selfish in that moment.
She’s never been as injured before and although I remind myself of her resilience, and recall how Milto, who’s leg was virtually severed, survived and thrived. I find myself arguing in my head, “that’s no broken leg! It’s her old TBI that makes it look crazy!” I guess it’s the ONLY thing I can allow myself some denial….With the pain as well I’m in some denial thinking that if there IS spinal and nerve damage she’s lost feeling. But of course that condemns her to be humanely euthanized. So I flip to: “well, we HAVE seen intended movement! Just, poor motor control”…and that of course reminds me then, that pain is likely felt. Every few hours I wonder if she’s still with us, knowing I’m brutally selfish. I found a website with the Milto controversy when I wanted to solidify my beliefs about human intervention – animal-ethics.org. Only if they are endangered OR pose a health threat to other animals or people. Lori’s original injury was inflicted by a human so it was obvious to me I supported intervention. I shared the site with others hoping to all come to some agreement. But today, knowing about wildlifealliance and their willingness to value the lives of what the ridiculous in our hive called “culteral vermin”, I think EVERY life is precious. The very existence of the Alliance confirms that. Those who sit comfortably at their computers in the west who arrogantly “educate” us silly bleeding hearts by saying the people of Cambodia consider macaques “vermin”….are racists at worst, blind idiots at best. To watch how these YouTube video folks loved on Amari, Lori (baby Alex,rescued from death-by-starvation at the hands of a kindnapper; Milto, Red who passed, Rose the little pigtail …and on and on) will know DEFINITIVELY that it is OTHERWISE.
If Lori only knew how many people’s lives she brightened every day! Amari too! But I think this pair did more for thousands of us spread across the world, than the littlest princess and her Regal mother could ever know.
I think I’m venting and again a bit selfish when it’s clear you are going through feeling as well! Once I get to writing, I tend to go on…..?!
Hope you continue to contribute to the channels! Many of us value your knowledge and wish to learn.
Regards,
Lora M
I emailed you yesterday and I have one last request. Do you have the time to give me a brief reply? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.
Everybody from all over the world worried about Lori, can you PLEASE give us a few information?
For everyone to help have to be transparent, post videos of Amari and Lori. We have been following their stories on Youtube for several months, and we would like to help, but we have to have nocicias with video of her, as well as treatment done for them. From Brazil

Hello WildlifeAlliance As many are I am so happy that Amari and Lori have been put in your care. I am looking forward to your updates on the them. I hope Lori comes out of critical condition. She is a fighter. When Sochhun Ley from Angkor Wat called for help for these 2 did he give you the history of her traumas? I suspect he would have so you know what is best for her care. Will you stay in contact with Sochhun Ley on progress as well, whether she will be able to return to Angkor Wat if she fully recovers? I would greatly appreciate your response to my inquiries. Please know I will be donating to your most kind Organization. Thank you so much to all the staff of Wildlife Alliance.
Amari and Lori have been brought to your facility. It was so good to know where they are. Lori has had so much happen to her. She had just recovered from another head incident, she recovered well after staying with the vet as he pulled her through. Please, is it possible for you to post updates on Lori. We have followed her and Amari for a long time.
Someone please get handprints of Lori and Amari. Especially Lori before it is to late. I would love copies to be put on t shirts that you could sell to raise awareness of the plight of these MONKIES in Am for. Please don’t let them die in vain when they could be ambassadors to the plight of these amazing creatures. Love and miss you Lori and Amari. Praying for Lori’s life.?❤?
Joanna Flores: Wonderful idea.
What a lovely idea….it made me cry!! I would buy a box full!!
Awesome idea, Joanna!!!!
I definitely would want their handprints and would buy t-shirts or other items. I have already signed up to donate on a monthly basis. Lori is a real fighter. I believe that she would already be dead if she wasn’t.
Please let me know somehow about the handprints.
Joanna Flores: this is the sweet man you want who will help get that done if it is allowed and if he is there right now. He is a wonderful man. Just put attention to him your email. Anderson Cooper @ CNN has been there and may help as well?!
https://www.wildlifealliance.org/nick-marx/
Love!
What an idea id love a T-shirt with a picture of Lori and her hand print that would be awesome and add the sanctuary’s name and everything. Great great idea.
BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL IDEA!
good grief that’s the best idea I’ve ever heard a t-shirt with their hand prints would be a phenomenal idea I would buy a couple myself. What a great idea I just cannot believe how perfect that would be your a Genius
What an amazing idea!! I really hope someone does this!!
Paradis Life
I hope so too. I so badly need copy of the prints to help my heart heal.
Hello Sanctuary Vets and Staff,

Jeanne Colorado Cares
Jeanne Peters: It’s unfortunate that you mis spoke. That could actually negatively impact Lori and Amari’s care now. That was a shame that you felt you had to put incorrect information out there to complicate the effeorts of the good people involved in the care. Please give the complete information if you wish to be helpful. A qualified VET that’s works as a VET for Angkor Wat and was the treatment professional working with Lori and Amari in crisis, was treating her. I’m sure this wonderful organization and our EQUALLY WONDERFUL GENTLEMENT WHO FILM THEM AND THE VET WHO TREATED HER gave every last detail of information. If it were not for all the wonderful men and women of Angkor Wat who spent at least 36 hours and their own money to provide continuous crisis care for our beloved monkeys.
Prayers around the world for Lori and Amari!! Thank you so much for taking these two beloved ones into your care! They have brought so much joy into the homes of thousands around the world! I know they are getting the best care available but can you imagine how much it would help if each one of Lori and Amari followers donated just $25.00?!! Someone else on here suggested getting a hand print of Lori and Amari to have t-shirts made with the sale of them going to sponsor them both. We are ALL anxiously awaiting new updates on them both, so please send as soon as you can. Thank you again from us all!!
I miss you Lori so much. I wish you can make it…get better soon! We love you and we cry for you! Our little QUEEN.
Please give us an update on Lori and Amari. Especially that exceptional, beautiful, strong and resilient little monkey Lori I cry myself to sleep worrying about her.
… you cry yourself to sleep?! Is that a serious comment?? You need some serious help
I hope so too. I so badly need copy of the prints to help my heart heal.
I know, me too…so many hearts are broken all over the world. :(
Lori, prayer warriors are praying so hard for you right now. ?? You wanted your mommy with you, this is the perfect opportunity for you to pull through baby girl. I will never give up on you, you beautiful little monkey. You have inspired me in ways, that nobody else could reach.
I’m also from KY and if been watching sense Loris birth, I have seen that Lil monkey go through hell n back, I prey that she makes it through this n goes on to live a full happy life weather I can watch it or not. I left that she can get back to the happy lil monkey she once was,
Please keep Lori’s family updated on her condition please. Rosetta
I am from Cleveland , Tn. and I feel the same about Lori. I will never give up on her either. I just want her to get good care and have a chance to live her life. I will gladly buy some shirts with her prints on them. She is a fighter and I cannot get her off my mind. Think about her during the night and pray for her. God Bless our little Lori, our little princess warrior.
I began watching this little monk y at birth and have truly been transformed by her spirit. Of the many things she’s brought to me is “never give up”, he kind no matter, enjoy the moment, love when you can. Please understand that I know I am not alone. Many thousands of folks feel the same. I will be donating as I believe in Lori and have faith in God that He’ll do what’s necessary to help you do the right thing. Thank you from Kentucky.
I’m very happy for then and going to be in good hands, I love you Lory and Amari thanks.
I think they can lead a fairly normal life, with that being said.If this group gives them special care.My gratitude to all who have helped,loved,watch these monkeys.May God keep them safe.Many blessings to everyone.
Ir’s now 8.05a Thursday morning, your time, and I’m back here checking for any new updates. Is Lori still with us? One can hope. Miss Amari, I’m sure is eating you out of house and home, bless her heart! Something quite beautiful has come out of this tragic event. To read the comments of people all over the world who have come together with a common love for these two…is heart-warming. Most of the comments here express love and encouragement. By the way, thank you for your reply to my e-mail. I’ll check back again very soon for any updates. Blessings to you all…
Thank you for the update and I hope that you were made aware of Lori’s story…the whole history. She had already made a full recovery from being knocked completely unconscious in May. She had an enormous hematoma on the left side of her head and couldn’t walk or sit up. The same people who gave her to you this time took her home as well back then and, it appeared, brought her back to life. She stayed with them for a week and basically had to learn to walk again BUT SHE DID. And when she was returned to the troupe, she learned to climb trees again as well and to play and nurse and run and be a monkey. She is such a fighter…it was as if she had nine lives. PLEASE WATCH ALL OF HER VIDEOS TO SEE WHY THIS LITTLE GIRL IS so special. We don’t really know what happened this time, there was no video to show us. Thank you for caring for her and her mom. There is so much on YouTube about Lori…her entire history. We all love her so much and miss her already.
COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH ANY PICTURES OR VIDEO OF QUEEN AMARI AND PRINCESS LORI TO SEE HOW THEY ARE DOING? WE HAVE WATCHED THEM FOR SUCH A LONG TIME THAT IT IS LIKE THEY ARE A PART OF US. THEY REALLY DO MEAN SO MUCH TO US. WE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THEM VERY MUCH. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU
Chaparra431 I know this is a dumb question, but did you see the second video at the top of the page? I believe this is about all they will be able to do is post one daily or so. Sorry if I am redundant. Love !
Hello there,
I am very happy you are helping Amari and Lori. ????? They stole MANY MANY of our hearts. I am just hoping and praying there will at the very least be updates. I am POSITIVE that if you can do videos, you would most certainly get MANY contributions, as these 2 ??, are cherished around the world. I do not think you are aware of the magnitude of impact Amari & Lori has made. ?????? I WILL GLADLY DO ANYTHING I CAN FOR THEM. PLEASE, don’t give up on these queens????????????
That is a wonderful idea, I have already started raising money to donate. I was wondering if I donated a live cam so they can videotape if they would accept that. My heart is breaking not knowing how they are doing.
Maybe you can email them directly and ask about the live cam. I had the same idea.
Zach: What a low self esteem one must have to put misinformation into an already complicated medical history. Sadly, you are saying something that couldn’t be FURTHER from the truth. The kindness and generosity of the men and women who film these monkeys and the on-call veterinarian did a wonderful thing giving these beauties a new beginning that is filled with love, trees, other monkeys and humans who genuinely want to add LOVE AND LIGHT to our world, not tear it down. So sorry you can join in on the joy we all feel the past few days, knowing these Queens are safe and loved.
We miss Lori, and Amari so much! But, we are glad that they will be well
taken care of at your Rescue. Poor little Lori, just since I have followed
them, had her foot broken by another monkey, fell from the tree on her
head when she was very young. Was hit very hard in the head with a bat
type of stick, that caused her Spinal injury, unable to walk for awhile, and
head so swollen. Miraculously, she recovered much better than anyone
thought considering the injuries. Then she fell on her little head from another
tree again, and seemed to get through with just another knot on her head.
She has been through more than any animal, or person ever should. And
then this last fall, and her delicate little fragile body just gave in. Lori is the
strongest little fighter, with so much willpower, and I truly pray that
she will survive, and thrive through this horrific trauma. And, mommie
Amari has had her share of injuries too, I pray that she too will
recover, and be with her little Lori…..they only have each other now,
Please post photo’s of them, hopefully together, and keep us all
Posted on their recoveries. We would all be so very appreciative
if you could do that as often as possible. Thank you for your
Help, and kindness to these beautiful girls! ? ? ?
Thank you so much for updating us with this video! We love all of you so much.
To Wildlife team: you are so sweet to explain you did not confiscate the mom and baby monkeys. I will communicate for our group of about 80 friends in our club, and we know that no matter what you do it is in the best interest of animals. We do love all of your animals also, but we are connected to a Amari and Lori very strongly. I have donated to your team and I will continue to spread that word to encourage others. But thank you so much for your sweet explanation above, yet I want you to know we do not blame you for anything; we know you can do no more than you are doing. We in my community all love you all.
I am grateful to the veterinarians and staff who are willing to give Lori every possible chance at survival. She may have been denied that choice in the care of some other veterinarians, had she been taken to one. It’s painstaking to care for an animal as severely injured as Lori. Especially when she will be left with physical deficits post acute treatment. These people are to be praised and supported. As for the meds Lori received prior to her coming there: I have a strong suspicion the man who “treated” her administered the same medications as he did during Lori’s prior CNS injury a few months ago. At that time she received Penstrip 20/20 and steroid injections. This appears to be his “stock treatment.” During this episode, this man was very careful to make sure all vials were turned as so their labels weren’t facing the camera. He covered the syringe barrel with his hand as he administered the medication, he didn’t want them to be identifiable nor the dosages. I’m sure this is because he was roundly criticized for her prior “treatment”. A video was produced claiming she received incorrect, harmful doses of Penstrip 20/20. I don’t know exactly which steroid he used this time but I believe it was the same one as before, and I don’t know the dosages for any of these meds. The injection sites were curious indeed, as was his injection “techinique”. He held her by the scruff with her legs dangling, and injected her multiple times this way. She squirmed significantly during these injections, she had no cervical support of any kind; it was if she was on display. She was given at least given at least 4 rounds per day, using 3 separate pre-filled syringes each time. I suspect she received multiple doses PO of some sort of analgesic. Perhaps one containing aspirin or acetaminophen. Unfortunately the capsules were taken from a plastic bag, crushed, and put into a bottle of milk. (perhaps this was Paracetamol?) I wish I could give you more exact information, however, this time he was very careful to make sure no one could identify anything he administered. He used the same needles repeatedly as well as using an IM needle to administer a Sub Q injection. Everything mentioned I personally observed. It is not my intention to misspeak. I’m encouraged to hear Lori is still with us, and that Amari is stable and adjusting well. Thank you again, for all that you’re doing on their behalf. I hope the information provided is of some help to you. Take care…
Thank you for the information. Before they were sent here, I was a firm believer that they should be humanely euthanized. I’m not criticizing but I just couldn’t understand how Amari could be treated without a sugar glucose test and Lori be treated without an X-ray at the very least, I understand that an MRI might be hard to come by but to treat a patient without knowing exactly what and the extent of the injury, especially one to the central nervous system just seemed irresponsible and dangerous.
I know that they will never be able to be released and that Lori will live with deficits the rest of her life. The central nervous system cannot repair itself or heal but thankfully other parts of the brain will compensate and adjust for other parts that are damaged.
I just wish the videographers wouldn’t interfere with nature. Many of the viewers dictate to them to do this and do that. Feed this one milk, don’t give that one any food, that baby should be taken from it’s mother, that mother never wanted that baby. Unfortunately it seems that many want to give them human qualities, emotions, and morals. They wish many would get a poisoned banana, get shoved into traffic, just today I read that they wanted a monkey named Polly to get smacked in the face because she was “Picking and bullying” a newborn named Timo. All because they are acting like monkeys and don’t display the characteristics of a human mother caring for a human baby.
Thank you once again for your insight. I wish Amari and Lori luck in their new life.
Thank you so much to all the kind people at the Wildlife Rescue Center. We appreciate the updates on Amari and Lori’s condition.
They have become very special to many people all around the world watching their videos.
I was happy to read Amari is doing well. I know you will be giving her a great diet with lots of greens. I thought it was a great idea
when one of the WRRT members used what we call Asian Cabbage to lure her into her transport box. If she is diabetic then sweet fruits of course should be just an occasional treat . I follow the same advice myself as I am Type II insulin dependent diabetic myself.
Please do not give up on Lori. I am sure you were told about the awful head injury she suffered a few months ago when she was bashed in the head
with a police baton. The local Videographers ( VO ) scooped her up and they and a local man gave her the best care they could. Just loke now she at first could barely stand or walk.
In time it seemed Lori’s brain had to create new neuro pathways and she had to learn to walk all over again. In time she learned to run and even to climb trees again. Climbing down took a little longer. So what I am saying is please give Lori time to heal. She has the heart of a Lioness and
Lori does not know how to spell the word ” FAILURE “, well mainly because macaques are generally very poor at spelling.
If you do not give up on her she will never give up on herself. I know most rescue centers do not generally encourage too much human contact
with their patients but could you please cuddle with her some if you can. Lori craves comforting from her mom but Amari because of her poor health
did not always have a lot of time for her baby. Lori would seek out cuddles lately from several senior females in the troop. If you have an older female who has lost her baby perhaps she could have daily visits with Lori. They could be a comfort to eachother possibly. I dont know if Lori would be too freaked out by visit from an outsider female. It is just a thought.
Thank you again for you kindness .

Thank you so much for your care you are giving this special pair. I have been a fan of this pair as well as the troop that Amari has reigned for a couple years now. Queen amari has been leader of her troop for several years and has ruled her troop with a tough but loving heart. Princess Lori has been thru so much and I pray she will be able to fight this battle ahead of her. I just wanted to say thank you so much for writing updates for us and sharing video footage , I know that you are extremely busy. Thank you for taking the time for Amari and Loris fans who are concerned. Bless you all for all you do for all these animals in need.
Thank you so much for your efforts to save little Lori’s life. Reading all these comments brought me to tears. She is such a fighter. I miss her so very much. She is so kind hearted and strong willed. I know you can pull through this babygirl. Come on your mama needs you. Love you so much ❤️❤️❤️ THANK U FOR THE UPDATE AND PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING.
Hello Staffers and Vets,
Thank you so much for the new update and video showing the arrival of Lori and Amari at the nursery facility. Amaro s safe now.
The accident Lori had resulted from a fall of 16 to 20 feet off the wall of the temple. A competing troop came through. Amari ran carrying Lori and flew off the wall because she is blind. Lori to the brunt of the fall because she was underneath Amari when she hit the stone floor below. After all Lori went through overcoming the head trauma in May, it is so tragic that Amari’s blindness caused another insult to her tiny body. Lori is such a fighter…. I am hoping your specialized care can bring her back to her happy life. She has inspired people around the world. I miss her greatly. Colorado Cares
To all supporters of Amari and Lori:
Please chill on telling these people what to do. They are experts and do not need any advice from non vets, who have never given medical care to a monkey. I would hate for them to stop posting because of the crazy comments they have been getting. They have been told Lori’s life story DOZENS of times. I am sure they were already aware. Please leave the conspiracys at the door. If you don’t know something to be 100% fact, please keep it to yourself. Peace.
Will be making a donation next payday for Amari and Lori’s care! Thank you sooooooo much for bringing them to your center! And thank you for this update!
Thanks for the update and will be donating to your center at next payday!
Thank you very much for the update! I have been watching Amari, daily for over a year and I have come to love her as I would one of my own pets (whom I love like my own children). I donated and will continue to donate on a weekly basis to help out. I know Amari and Lori are in good hands and you all will know the best course of treatment. God bless each and every one of you! BIG HUGS! <3 From Nashville, Tennessee. U.S.A. -Sam
P.s. Please ignore the crazy people comments. I have seen a few. There are some who think they are vets and will tell you what they think you should do to care for Amari and Lori and there are those who think everything is a conspiracy. There are people who watch the monkey videos, only to talk about how much they hate them and even some talk about how they wish certain ones would die. They are very twisted and sad humans. I would delete their comments if it gets too crazy for you.
Thank you for that. I’ve seen enough of the outrageous comments myself
A neighbor from Kentucky
Hi my name is Missy I have been watching Lori and Amari for over a year and well Lori since her birth in December of 2017 . Thank You kindly for stepping up to care for them I understand you are doing everything possible for these two please give Lori a chance and please don’t put her down i understand she has some serious injuries as she has before and yet she bounced back amazingly !!! The Vet that specializes in Monkey care wouldn’t have sent them to you if they thought you couldn’t provide the care they need but putting Lori down won’t give her the chance she so deserves !!! Id be willing to come from the states to get her to care for her before that would happen many of us has watched Lori for months if you could possibly make videos and updates on Lori’s care we could see to it proper funds be provided for Lori’s care we can even set up a go fund me account in care of Lori through your facility !!! However we would like updates on her care with videos to allow us to see her progress !!! Please consider the offer !!!We love Lori she’s been apart of our hearts and homes for sometime now!!!! Blessing to our little angel !!
Thank you for the update. I know it’s too early to tell Lori and Amaris prognosis, but I do hope you will take care of them whether Amari can see or Lori can walk. It’s heartbreaking to think they won’t get better but I am hoping for the best. They deserve all that can be done. It may be along road but so many people are willing to donate for their care and upkeep, myself included. Thank you. Please give Lori hugs from us and love her. Anytime one of the other babies would cry sweet Lori would run to hold them. She’s very special, and special to all of us who love her. Amari is too.
Thank you for replying to my email. It gave me great comfort to know you were willing to do what ever you could for them and that you understood how loved and deserving they are of your care. Amari was living a life of fear and most likely going hungry if no one handed her food because of her blindness. Please don’t give up on them.
Baby Lori Angkor Watt will never be the same without you but I hope you will pull through this and enjoy your new home and maybe if fully recovered you can go back. Get well soon you are greatly missed by your fans and your troop so much you will never know. The amount of lives you touched in such a short time is unbelievable. We will be checking in on you time to time and keep you in prayers little one. Keep on fighting…
Two thumbs down for one simple reason stop trying to tell people how to do their job, they don’t need your repetitive instructions on Lori’s care. Get a life or a hobby but stop with the asinine antics you grogan.
i’m so glad to have found you all. I haven’t been able to watch Monkey Camp since they left I got to love them both. Amari has a lovely face and Lori has been so brave going through hell and back.
I Hope she gets better with her present care I will donate to you
First, I want to say thank you for taking Amari and Lori. Second, the early prognosis with Lori is spinal injuries and nerve damage, have you seen a recovery (full or partial) for a animal with these injuries? I am also concerned with the many injuries she received on her head. Some say she recovered from the injury with the hit in the head by the park ranger, but she never was able to walk, climb a tree, and run after that happen. Do you think that there may be some injuries to the brain too? She has been through so many problems and I said many times that something is not right with her brain. Yes, I got really upset because they need to get her to a vet that had the equipment to do x-rays, CT scan, etc. to see what is going on. I am grateful that you took her. I just felt that she was suffering and I do not want to see any animal suffer. I have 8 dogs and 14 cats and it hurts me really bad when I have to take my babies to the vet and have them euthanized because they are suffering. When I call the vet to let them know what is going on, they have a full box of Kleenex waiting for me. I love animals and if I had a farm with lots of land, I would have many more. I understand that it is very hard to answer all of the comments, but I wanted to let you know. I will say that if Lori will not be able to have a full productive life, I hope that having to euthanized her will be considered. I hate to see her go, but I do not want her to suffer either.
Thank you,
Rayford Necaise
Thank you for the update. Lori’s holding steady it appears.
Thank you so much for the care Lori and Amari are receiving they are two special little monkeys.
Please, continue the wonderful care you are giving our little angel Lorie. We all miss and worry about her. Can’t wait ti hear she is doing well.
The government should help Angkor Wat – Cambodian animals, so that in this place where thousands of people go to visit, have a volunteer veterinarian. The propaganda of this park is distributed all over the land. The propaganda of this park to go feed wildlife is cruelty to them, since they have no immunity against the male viruses. That they make petition whatever it is, but that they have veterinary care even if it is sporadic or when some animal needs.Promote the region, save this monkeys! and instruct humans to wear masks on the visit. Not the cruelty of animals! I’m from Brazil. Diagnostic de Amari e Lori?
Villa,
I agree. There is something going on with the “Temple monkeys”. The main problem is speeding cars, but also, I have a bad feeling about the drama the VO’s feel the need to continually bring up. I do not believe all of the VO’s have the monkey’s best interests at heart, or even know what their best interests ARE! They need to be informed, given some guidelines on how to interact with these semi-wild animals. And no more mystery murders like Brutus…what the h*ll was that about?
You mentioned that Lori was having trouble feeding herself. She was only using one hand to feed herself before her tail was run over and before she had her last fall.
Today trip advisor has our girls on this site:

But it was Trip Adviser a year ago – way last year. Yeah I wish it were them. Maybe they will look like that in a year.
HELLO! 1ST AND FOREMOST,,,,,,PLEASE IGNORE THE TROLLS. ????They love to cause problems out of misery or not being brought up correctly (probably 12-14 yrs old) I appreciate EVERYTHING you are doing for these extremely loved monkeys, Amari and Lori. ???? Have you started a go fund me for them? Please hold Lori, she is priceless to us! Amari is a true intelligent queen who truly deserves being treated as one! God bless you and keep up the updates please,,,,,,I TRULY LOVE THEM. ?????
Good to see Lori and Amari getting proper veterinarian care as well as baby formula not cow’s milk for Lori. Maybe Amari won’t be so hungry from all the sugary fruits she use to eat all day good to see her getting veggies. Thanks to the VO’s for reaching out and finding them a place to heal .
I appreciate all the help in whatever way to get help for these monkeys. Oh,I love Lori so much without having ever seen her, just on videos. She is such a loving little baby and wanted to love on the other babies she lived around. All she ever wanted was to be hugged and feel comforted.. I hope you all can give her lots of hugs and baby her some. If I had a way I would have gone to Cambodia to see if I could buy her and bring her home with me. I will be donating money for Lori and Amari within the week. At least this way I can feel like I am still in her life and she in mine. Thank you all for your care for them. Betty in Tennessee, USA.
Thank you for all you are doing for Lori! I was wondering if we could please see Lor’s tail and its condition – just a little video – no manipulation of it to hurt her! Thanks for any rersponse! Also, Could we see some information on and a picture of the veterinarians there? That would be great. My friends and I will try to donate every week and some every month. Love!
Wow… Did I just read these comments correctly.. you sad sad selfish group of people . Amazing how the dozen or so of you are more worried about the way you feel inside than you are worried for this baby monkey to no longer suffer and fight to be something she will never ever ever ever be.. a real monkey.. you all have doomed her to a miserable life in a tiny cage or enclosure and she will never be wild again.. or know what it’s like to have baby of her own, their sole purpose in life.. wow… Just amazing
The problem I seem to have with this is if Lori had been sent to this organization right after she was hit in the head from the angkor security, then they would have said the same thing that she likey won’t return to the group and she would have to stay in this sanctuary for the rest of her life. However, after healing up with the vet back in angkor wat. she was disabled but able to adapt and from what I can see she will be fairly close to the same position after recovering here. With that being said, I think she should be able to return to the wild where she can be with her family, and the same goes for Amari, although I know she will continue to get worse but again this is the wild and I think nature should take its course, I really think both would be ok, but then again I am no doctor or vet, I just see what I see and its my opinion.
Brian Sonego….Just STOP with this crap. You don’t own Lori or Amari either one, as matter fact, the Wildlife Alliance now owns them…thank God. The videographer’s are the reason Lori is worse now and people prob such as yourself who were crying for them to release her back to the wild.
If Lori had been taken to this rescue rehab sooner right after first hit to head then he wouldn’t be BLIND now!! You people only care about your own damn feelings more than you truly care about the care and well being of Lori.
You cannot command the rescue center to do anything. You’re not in control. It’s really not your business. You can check on them on this blog but that should be where it all ends. The vo’s need to stop filming these two and leave them and this rescue center alone.
Lol “I’m not a vet or anything but I think they can return to the wild”.
Thanks again for providing them a home, as well as ongoing care. This is far superior to their conditions at Ankgor Wat Temple. I rather expected this prognosis, unfortunately. Lori and Amari have strong wills, they’re determined ladies that will make the best of their situation. The good news is that Lori is young enough to adapt to the new life she’ll have with you. I’m sure Amari is adapting beautifully. I do have a question, though; is Amari indeed diabetic and if so does she require insulin or oral medication? If you can include the answers to those questions in your next update, it would be appreciated. Lori has a challenging road ahead of her as she will have disabilities. I know she’ll rise to the occasion, as will Amari. Life is a precious gift as long as they’re not living with pain and discomfort. Again, thanks for giving them a chance.
Wow’! Today’s update was fabulous. Thank U thank U. And we will continue to make our donations which is our pleasure. We thank you for anytime you let someone hold Lori. I know so many people have asked for that and that would be my group of friends’ only request. She responds more than is believable when even a female holds her up against her chest. Ear her chin – like a human baby. I know how silly this must sound but But I know will make a difference. Perhaps it could just be a tourist who offers. I thank you again on behalf of my many dozens of friends here in our fair city of Las Vegas.
I hate spell (try to read my mind) check just as I push send!
Please check Amari for sugar diabetes. She has shown all the signs of having it.
Lori please stop this nonsense. I told you many times old world monkeys such as macaque are not susceptible two diabetes that is a roll for New World monkeys. It’s not to say that they cannot become diabetic but this just not fit the symptoms. her eyesight issue is not symmetrical it is a symmetrical that ain’t no way fits a diabetes paradigm besides don’t you think that they have checked her just as a matter of routine blood work?
If she was diabetic to the point where it was making her have symptoms of this severity that you see when she ate all that fruit waiting for the wildlife rescue people to get there she would have went in a coma
Again repeat after me Old World monkeys are not very susceptible to diabetes it is New World monkeys such as the ones that live in South America and Central America that are prone to diabetes. Repeat that 100 times
Clown Wisper – you need to be schooled! Lori L Weir is absolutely CORRECT. Learn to do some Google research before trying to insult someone who knows what they are talking about, makes you look really DUMB. Keep your trolling off Willife Alliance website or t I will request you be banned. Now, for the schooling. Check website: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3440045/
**This is jut one of many articles published, I can give you many other links to check, better yet – go check them yourself !
Journal of Diabetes Sciences and Technology, published in J. Diabetes Sci Technol 2012 May, 6(3) 503-514, Authors H. James Harwood Jr. PhD, Paul Listrani D.M.V., Janice D Wager D.M.V, PhD. Abiut half way down page:
Naturally Occurring Diabetes in Nonhuman Primates
A number of NHP species develop obesity and diabetes, as reviewed previously.37,38 Commonly used species of Old World primates that develop spontaneous diabetes include macaques (Macaca sp.),37,38 vervets (Chlorocebus aethiops),39,40 baboons (Papio sp.),41–44 and mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx).45 New World monkeys that develop spontaneous diabetes include marmosets (Callithrix jacchus),46–48 squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus),49,50 capuchins (Cebus apella),49 and tamarins (Saquinus sp.).49 Chimpanzees (Pan troglyodytes) also develop spontaneous diabetes.51,52
Categorically, these NHPs all exhibit clinical features of diabetes, including obesity, IR, dyslipidemia, and pancreatic pathology that are similar to those observed in humans37,49,53 and are therefore excellent models for studying human T2DM. In many NHPs, T2DM is associated with increased age and body weight37,39,41,42,54–57 and is initially characterized by normal glucose tolerance that is followed by IR, a compensatory increase in insulin secretion, and deterioration of carbohydrate metabolism.37,56,58,59 As the disease progresses, NHPs develop IGT with a moderate elevation in fasting plasma glucose before becoming overtly hyperglycemic due to a decrease in pancreatic insulin secretion as normal islet architecture is replaced with islet-associated amyloid, resulting in the classic signs of diabetes.37 Type 1 diabetes mellitus has also been reported in some NHPs but at a much lower frequency,59 and GDM has been reported in several species,60,61 with complications similar to those observed in human GDM.59 As in humans, other atypical forms of diabetes also occur in NHPs.40
The most widely studied NHPs that develop spontaneous diabetes are the macaques. Spontaneous diabetes has been demonstrated in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis),37,38,62 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta),38,49,62 black Celebes macaques (Macaca nigra),53,63–65 bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata),66,67 Formosan rock macaques (Macaca cyclopis),49 and pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina),49 but the most extensive research regarding the development, characteristics, and comorbidities of diabetes in these animals has been conducted in cynomolgus and rhesus macaques.
Clown whisperer….you still preaching that shit cause they confirmed she does I repeat Amari DOES have diabetes!! hmmm….yeah.
All mammals are at risk for diabetes especially when fed pop and processed foods. Amari had all the signs and the vets have confirmed it. Probably why Lori ended up forging at an early age; mother’s milk was lacking. All mammals without the proper diet but instead load with junk foods and sugars are at risk for diabetes.
Lori, you were absolutely correct! Check my response to Clown Whisper. Old World Monkeys have been used to study spontaneous diabetes in non-human primates for years. In fact, the most widely studied NHP’s that develop spontaneous diabetes are the macaques! Let Clown Whisper go tell the D.M.V’s and PhD that wrote the article I quoted they should stop that nonsense.. Know we know why he doesn’t use his real name, but uses Clown Whisper…..
Well said, my fried ??
Thanks God, both are little .better now. My sweet baby Lori fighting again for her life and im happy because there have very good help and care. I wish so much to can see again that cute face of baby Lori walking, climbing and playing happily around her mom Amari.Love and blessings from France for all wonderful peoples which help and care by them daily.❤?
Its wonderful to see them eating. Both look really good. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for taking care of our baby Lori and her mom. This little monkey has stole the hearts of so many people. We love her so much. My God bless the work that y’all are doing. Thank you from Raleigh, Mississippi.
I am very happy that you’re going to say she will take care of these two ladies. Lori has become very special to a lot of people and Amari was the matriarch of a large Troop as you know in Angkor Wat area. I will be donating to help support their care very soon and hopefully I can get some of my friends too as well. I think that Lori is going to surprise you. She is a very resilient little girl and now that she’s in complete protected environment I think she’s going to heal very well. If she does not have brain damage I think she will make you very complete recovery.
Please take care of them for us and we will do our best to pay for their care. The more updates you give us the more money you will get that I know for sure
THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!! ?????????????????????????????????????????????? PLEASE keep posting videos and pictures,,,,,the more you post, the more money will be sent I am sure of it! I love these girls so much,,,,I PRAY you can find someone that is willing to video and post on u-tube, you could have a sponsor button also on it! PLEASE HOLD LORI, she loves it like a human baby almost! ???????
Paula Collier….These two monkeys are not there to be pimped out for money, OK? If you want to donate money then do so but don’t tell these people to spend more time on Lori and/or Amari to make longer videos so you can be happy and so they can draw in more money. You do realize this is a big rescue center for ALL kinds of hurt and displaced animals….right? This is not just a 2 monkey show here. Although there’s plenty of people who watched these 2 on YouTube and are concerned but really they are in great hands now and really it’s out of your control. They do have to take care of a lot of animals at this rescue/rehab so may wanna stop trying to bribe them with money in exchange for more and longer videos.
Oh, also, does Amari and Lori get to be or see each other??????! ????
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING AMARI AND LORI THROUGH A VERY HARD TIME IN THEIR LIFE. AMARI LOOKED VERY SICK FOR A LONG TIME AND I THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD DIABETES BECAUSE I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS I AM A DIABETIC MYSELF. POOR LITTLE PRINCESS LORI SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK. SHE IS A “SOLDIER OF GOD” BECAUSE SHE HAS SERVIVED EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO HER AND MORE. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING LORI SINCE SHE WAS BORN TIL NOW AND SHE HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART ?. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR HER AND HER MOM THAT GOD WILL HEAL THEM AND GIVE THEM STRENGTH. LORI IS A FIGHTER AND SHE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS BUT WE ALL NEED TO PRAY BECAUSE IF TWO OR MORE PEOPLE PRAY GOD WILL HEAR OUR PRAYS. ? . I WANT TO THANK SOCHHUN LEY FROM ANGKOR WAT FOR ALWAYS KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR ALL THE MONKEYS AND HELPING THEM IF THE WHERE IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. ALSO, I WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING CARE OF AMARI AND LORI RIGHT NOW AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. PLEASE GOD GIVE YOU STRENGTH AND GOOD HEALTH TO ALL. ?.
Purple I know the power of God am Born Again 50 years and had 50 years of miracles in my life and in those I have prayed for Lori is obviously blind this could be caused by drugs as well as injury I became deaf side effects of fluid pills I left them off and my hearing came back God is all powerful ‘Ask anything in My Name and I will do it’ We will agree together as well as with anyone that wants to join
‘Dear Lord Jesus we know you are the Power of the Universe Please use your power to heal Lori – of injury and blindness and most of all – give her a happy life. We agree in the name of Lord Jesus Christ you will answer this prayer Amen’
Glad to hear they doing well, miss seeing them everyday x
Happy to read Amari is doing well. Lori is a fighter and you have seen it too. Please keep us updated I miss seeing the both of them, Thank you your care of both of them.
Lori’s will to survive is formidable. I bet she’s charmed your veterinarians and caretakers with her sweet personality. This was another encouraging update. Yes, she certainly is a fighter. Continued thanks to all of you. These girls are well-missed.
Well Anthony, seriously what part of wildlife rescue alliance’s title did you not read? No one in their right mind puts an animal down until they have exhausted all possibility! I have seen Lori at death’s door and then bounce back a couple of times now. And you! You would have her eurhilenized when she has had no margin of time to prove herself nor to be disproven. Go whine to your own sad dad friends. Mine believe in life.
Amazing how many want to rush to slaughter an animal hurt or sick but able to recover. Wonder how they would respond if it was them instead. Hope they have no pets or relatives they make thehealth care decisions
Thank you for the wonderful updates!! It means so much to be able to visit the sight and see Amari & Lori again!! It was beautiful to see little Lori starting to walk & eat on her own!! Her will to live is exceptional! She’s a little fighter, always has been! And Amari looks wonderful! It looks like she’s gained a little weight already! Thank you so much for taking in these two much-loved gals. Keep up the great job!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It is heartening to see Amari & Lori improving & doing better. Lori has had quite a time of it – everything from falling to getting bitten to a human whooping her on the side of her head, presumably for playing on his motorbike. Perhaps better known as being accident-prone, though not always of her doing or her fault per se.
At any rate Lori is healing & improving-to what extent that is possible is uncertain. And given the rescue centre’s prognosis – that Lori may never recover enough to be released back in the wild – she is getting the care necessary for her healing & survival.
Even better, Lori does not appear to be suffering as before.
The fact that Lori & Amari are being treated well, fed well & their needs are being well tended to is for so many of us (us = based on remarks/comments) is a big relief.
A big thank you to all of the people who have played a part (large & small) in their rescue & care. Even if they are unable to be released back into the wild, Lori & Amari are in the hands of experienced, caring people now. Both have a real good chance of surviving this ordeal & living out their lives without the natural threats of the wild. So there is that. It is unfortunate they have to be caged, but perhaps that, too, will change as they each progresses in time.
PS:
I hope y’all continue giving us updates on Lori & Amari.
Thank you again for what you do for not just for Lori & Amari, but for all the animals you rescue.
I was absolutely overcome to see Amari has already improved in looks meaning she is getting what she needs! And I could not believe Lori! I am so grateful! Thank you for who you are. I feel it is NOT just a job for those men in the pictures, and the world thanks you/them all. I feel the public are a bit more influenced to donate when they see the monks from this site here supposed to YouTube. But I know all this traffic on your webpage is difficult for you also. Just a thought – but post where you need too, Love!!
MY QUEENS!!!!!!!! ?????????? I JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH! I wait every day for updates, and selfishly want longer videos.I am positive you are very busy, but, I can just about guarantee you if you can video longer and more, you WILL get even more donations. These girls are truly loved and utube celebrities! ????????
Thanks God my lovely girls doing better and its amazing how my sweet baby Lori start to eat herself and moving better with both legs.I know still very hard for her now to do all this but in time she will do well because she is a fighter daughter of Alpha Amari.All keepers doing a wonderful job there for helping them.May God bless you all and please keep update always possible about our beloved girls.Thank you so much❤?
Thankyou, thankyou THANKYOU!…You have made this old lady’s day. It’s hard to believe I could fall in love with 2 monkeys I’ve only seen on the web but as stated, Lori is so brave and I love Amari’s face though seems she still misses her troupe as she cries.
God Bless You All
Thank you so much for these awesome updates!! I am so happy to see Lori walking in a straight line!!! Gosh what a fighter!! Amari looks happy as well. I glad to see veggies in their diet. Please keep the updates coming! Love you Queen Amari and Princess Lori!!
SO HAPPY FOR YOUR UPDATE ON AMARI AND LORI. I AM PRAYING THEY WILL GET TO GO BACK WITH THEIR TROUPE. I AM HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE VEGETABLES FOR THEM. OUR LITTLE PRINCESS WARRIOR FIGHTS SO HARD AND I KNOW SHE WANTS TO GET BACK TO DOING HER “FREE STYLE’ TRICKS ON A ROPE. I LOVE THIS BABY. SHE REALLY DOES LIKE TO BE CUDDLED AND SHE LIKES TO CUDDLE. THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING CARE OF THEM.
betty bucci….Amari and Lori will never be able to go back to their troop. To do so would be same as killing them as matter fact it’d be more humane to euthanize them than to send them back to their troop.
So for now they will stay at this rescue center for the rest of their lives and actually be taken care of because they can’t live on their own in the wild.
Thanks and you have a great day!
So happy for your updates about Amari & Lori. Your doing a great job. God bless you and thank you.
It was amazing to see the latest videos of Amari and Lori on 9/11/18. Thank you Wildlife Alliance staffers for making these updates possible.
Lori is the most resilient little monkey. It was great to see she is responding well to this level of care, nutrition, and safe handling. I am thrilled to see her sit calmly for a brief period and move around on her own. After all her traumatic injuries, she deserves this much needed love and physical affection.
The Wildlife Alliance is truly a miracle organization. I made a $50 donation at first. But, after seeing Amari and Lori doing so well at this facility, I will definitely commit to a monthly $$ sponsorship to help with their continued treatments and daily care. Lori is not steady, but I am optimistic that she will improve with more rehab time. Lori and Amari are safe in this treatment center. This makes me incredibly happy.
Jeanne, Colorado Cares
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING VIDEOS AND PHOTOS OF AMARI AND PRINCESS LORI EACH DAY. WE KNOW YOU ARE VERY BUSY WITH MANY OTHER ANIMALS. THIS MEANS SO VERY VERY MUCH TO ALL OF US WHO LOVE AMARI AND LORI SO MUCH AND WANT THEM TO RECOVER THE BEST THEY POSSIBLY CAN. THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BLESSING THEY NEED. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL ABUNDANTLY.
Wonderful! I miss them every single day! I look on here all the time for ANY UPDATES! ????????
Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with these two lovely girls. God Bless you all.
I made my first donation today. I will increase it to help in other areas but right now I want Lori to get all the help she can get, even if it is surgery. She is my main concern because she is so little and so wonderfully sweet. I want her to have a life. I really love her so much because she doesn’t give up. She is an OVERCOMER. Just to see her run in the grass would lift our spirits. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR LORI AND AMARI. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Can you PLEASE post more information and videos, it has been 3 days and I SO LOVE THEM and miss them. ????????????????????????????????????????????????
But they need and deserve the break at weekends Paula. I’m sure they will post when the time is right. The soul has gone out of Monkey Camp – just not the same eh?
On Sunday morning, I just watched a new video of Lori on one of the Youtube channels. It’s wonderful to see Lori out of her cage walking on the ground. She looks better to me, e.g. a little weight gain, her fur is fuller, and tail healing.
The feel and smell of soil and twigs is fantastic stimulation for her brain. From 6:00 on, I think I saw Lori focus her eyes and stare at a bug. Also, she walked a few steps straight forward. This is great progress for Lori, a.k.a. the little warrior princess. Thank you for taking such great care of Lori and Amari.
p.s. As a gardner, I have always said “digging in the dirt is so therapeutic.” Maybe scratching in the dirt will wake up more of Lori”s little brain cells. Hope so….
My God,poor sweet baby,i can’t believed that now Lori it’s blind too ??? I really feel broken now???
It’s good to know specifically what’s wrong with Lori and Amari. I tend to believe Lori’s blindness is irreversible, unfortunately. It’s a wonder she wasn’t rendered blind after her brain injuries this past May. From observation I suspected she may now be hearing impaired as well. I hope I’m wrong about that. Amari has settled into her new surroundings nicely. With your care and assistance, she will recover from injuries she sustained and will receive insulin/oral meds for her diabetes. I hope her kidneys are functioning normally. Your organization is truly a Godsend as these girls certainly couldn’t/wouldn’t have survived in the wild any longer. Lori in particular has a very long road of partial recovery ahead of her. Finally, her tail is beginning to heal. I’m sure you’ve tested Lori’s blood glucose as well and will mention if she too is diabetic. In this case “no news is good news.” I must thank you, again, for your assistance and willingness to permanently care for these two. No easy task. Lori had been regularly drinking Amari’s urine for the past months. Perhaps her sodium levels haven’t been healthy. I suspect Lori has diminished hearing as well. Again, I hope I’m wrong about that. I’m confident Lori’s body will gradually become stronger, save for her right arm/hand and her leg. Many blessings and kudos to all of you.
My poor Lori ???????????????????
I have made a donation of $100.00 for Lori’s medical care and I will continue to donate as much as I can to help her. Please help Baby Lori to restore her eyesights. Please don’t give up on her.
I read an article recently entitled Midnight’s Story – Refuge for Wildfire about this monkey, who fell and became blind due brain injury. But he recovered and his eyesights came back. Here is his story:
Midnight’s Story
Posted on Laura Wilkinson in Rehabilitation, Releases, Rescues on January 17, 2018 Comments Off on Midnight’s Story
Midnight was rescued from Los Arenales in March after he fell from electrical cables and hit his head. At our onsite clinic, Dr. Francisco Sánchez and Dr. Christine Nelson discovered that electrocution was the cause of Midnight’s fall. So in addition to treatment for blindness and muscle tremors caused by head trauma, Midnight was treated for electrical burns on his chest and tail. 2 weeks after treatment started, Midnight’s vision started to come back. 3-4 weeks after the fall, his muscle tremors stopped. After 10 weeks in our care, his burns healed and his eyesight came back completely! Midnight then spent and additional 3 months with us regaining strength in one of our outdoor enclosures. He was released back into the forest in early September.
Please treat Baby Lori to the best, poor baby. I am sure many people around the world that love Baby Lori will donate for her recovery.
Thank you.
Please please don’t put Lori in cage with Amari for long periods of time or at least till she shows much more improvement. She’s going to get hurt again for sure. She cannot hang on and mom is taking her as high as she can get in that cage. Lori will fall again and get hurt again. Please do not let the videographers who come to film these 2 monkeys talk you into putting them together. Lori was hurt real bad already and they nursed her back to health but she couldn’t hold on or climb and barely able to walk and they took her back to wild and mom Amari and this happened. They only care about filming these 2 monkeys for views. And most people who watch are crazy and will try to call the Cambodian government on your rescue if they see anything they don’t like. Do not let these people continue to film there and for sure don’t let the commentators on here influence you. They will try to and will say they’re making donations but pretty sure most don’t have a pot to piss in. Thanks.
Dear Deedee
Not all people lied about the donation. I genuinely donated for Baby Lori’s medical. I will continue to donate for Baby Lori’s medical and hope and pray and beg Wildlife Alliance helps send Baby Lori to a veterinarian who specialises in brain injury, who can assess her brain injury and try to restore her eyesights. I am a Buddhist and I pray everyday to Lord Buddha for Baby Lori. I long to see Baby Lori’s happy face again.
I hope people who love Baby Lori will continue to donate for Baby Lori’s medical. With the modern and advanced medical treatments now, lets hope Baby Lori will see again. The story about monkey Midnight, who was blinded due brain injury but he recovered and can see again, I pray that this will happen for Baby Lori.
I also hope my comments reaches the attention of Mr. Nick Marx, Wildlife Rescue Director.
Sir, Baby Lori is not just a baby monkey, but a very special baby monkey and loved by so many people. Please help her. Thank you very much.
Susan Bok….I’m very glad you are a buddhist but I am not and you can give all the money you want to help Lori and/or Amari that you want, but the videographers who are STILL there filming these 2 monkeys don’t really care about them as if they did they’d leave them alone. They are after all the reason she got hurt once again and is now blind. They need to butt out of this now and stop filming them like a bunch of crazed papparazzi going so far as to follow them to this rescue.
That has nothing to do with you giving them money….but bear in mind as well that YOU or anyone giving money to help these two monkeys does NOT mean you OWN them either. May wanna separate the two out in your head.
And BTW Lori is a sweet little monkey but she is NO BETTER than any of the 100’s or more of rescued animals in this sanctuary so just stop with this “Lori is our god” mentality….I”m beyond weirded out by this behavior.
Deedee …. my main intention is to help Baby Lori. She is so young and now blind for the rest of her life. It breaks my heart.
I really hope that Wildlife Alliance can get some experts to re examine her brain injury and treat her and hopefully she can see again. I am sure Wildlife Alliance love all the animals they saved.
These monkeys really should be OFF LIMITS to videographers who are coming there, filming them, and uploading videos to YouTube.
You all there at the rescue center have already said that Amari and Lori are both in quarantine and are allowed NO visitors….then why are these videographers allowed there? Aren’t they visitors? Why do they get to come in, interact with them, film them?? They are only filming these monkeys for views and money for themselves and not for Amari and Lori either.
Please tell them to stop exploiting these 2 monkeys and leave them alone!
I was delighted to come across this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9EDPVycl6Q
Amazing how great the pair look after all your wonderful care and patience. Thank you again for all you’ve done. And while some people may not agree, I think that they will both have an amazing life free from the stress of being hounded by youtubers and the ‘created drama’ for youtube entertainment. It is so sad to see what is going on back at the Temple with their extended family; adults and babies are coming up missing (probably poachers as it has been said there are lots of traps in the forest) and deaths on the road because the feeding of wildlife along the shoulders of the road. It amazes me that people blame the drivers; of course it would be great for them to slow down; but NOT encourage animals to be on the road should be top priority of these ‘so called videographers’. Wouldn’t it be a perfect world if everyone could work together to solve this issue so that the primates can be safe and cared for and the youtubers still get their videos. :p
I was wondering if you can give a more recent update on Lori and Amari. Have they been together more. Is Lori still blind when can she be around other babies
To those of you that really care about all the monkeys at the Temple, and want to stop similar injuries from happening to other monkeys like what happened to Baby Lori. Robin Sexton, dee dee, I think if we wage a letter campaign to the Cambodian government to address the videographers luring the monkeys to the shoulders of the road by feeding them too close to traffic, creating situations to gain ‘views’ and money like when an alligator was brought into the park in a bag to watch the monkeys reaction when they open the bag, or feeding the monkeys beer or even so called ‘junk food’, video taping an alpha male poisoned and dying, taping injured baby monkeys 24/7, feeding the monkeys without regard to their hierarchy creating chaos within the troop, not to forget the obese and unhealthy monkeys, in general the exploitation of the monkeys in general. Including following Lori and Amari to Phnom Tamao to exploit them further. If the government receives so many letters from all over the world, it will bring disrepute to Angkor and Cambodia and if there is sufficient weight of public opinion against it, maybe the authorities could listen and do something about it. From what I understand there are no laws to protect not only wildlife but common household pets, maybe the time has come for the Cambodian government to pass laws protecting all animals. There has to be laws to govern these primates to keep them safe from ‘humans’. There was a successful letter campaign a while back to get an elephant named Sambo removed from walking around Phnom Penh, giving rides, day in day out, causing undue suffering and injury. The government received so many letters from all over the world asking them to retire Sambo. Eventually Sambo was retired to a sanctuary in NE Cambodia. To quote Robin Sexton ” Wouldn’t it be a perfect world if everyone could work together to solve this issue so that the primates can be safe an cared for and the youtubers still get their videos”. I think if thousands of letters from all over the world are sent to the Cambodian government, we might have a chance to change the way these animals are treated in Cambodia, or we can choose to ignore what is happening and let our words have no meaning and fall on deaf ears. Individually we may not be able to make a difference, but as the voice of the whole world – maybe we can make a difference. Mahatma Gandhi — ‘The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.’
Mary,
What’s your point? You just write names and addresses. I don’t get it at all! Do you?
Lora M – my point was to give the people who wanted to do something to try and make a difference in the monkeys treatment at the Temple the tools to actually do something, other than just talk about it in Comments. It was suggested by someone high up in Wildlife Alliance to wage this letter campaign. That the Cambodian government do not care about the long tailed macaques in Angkor. His words were “If you want to help, public opinion can do a great deal. if this kind of thing is bringing disrepute to Angkor and Cambodia and there is sufficient weight of public opinion against it I feel the authorities could listen and do something about it.” Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre was created in 1995 by the Forestry Administration (in other words the Cambodian Government) to care for rescued wildlife and it also serves as Cambodia’s national zoo. In 2001 Wildlife Alliance partnered with the Cambodian government to create WRRT to combat illegal wildlife trade. In other words Wildlife Alliance aides the Cambodian Government, they do not do anything that the government does not want them to do, they have to have the governments approval. So your statement the Wildlife Alliance is the advocates is incorrect. Their focus is on illegal wildlife trade, rehabilitation and release, animal husbandry for specie extinction, Wildlife Alliance assist the Royal Government of Cambodia in strengthening Protected areas, rehabilitating wildlife confiscated during operations conducted while combating illegal wildlife trade and releasing back into the protected areas. It would not have been suggested to me to start a letter campaign if Wildlife Alliance could do something to help the long tailed macaques in Angkor. So that was what I was doing, trying to get people to send a letter (or letters) to the Cambodian government asking that the videographers be held accountable for their mistreatment and abuse of the monkeys at Angkor.
It was determined after aspara authorities investigated that the alpha male you’re referring to had died of rabies. Be careful with your words. You may have good intentions but the facts need to be on point. The wildlife alliance already confirmed that Lori & Amari were referred to them appropriately. I think you are part of the problem unless you have ALL the facts. Otherwise you just confuse and complicate the REAL ISSUES. Wildlife alliance will always do the right think. THEY are the advocates.
Lora M – if your statement is even true that Apsara autjhorities investigated King Brutus’s death and ruled it anything has not been proven. So are you the only one that was privy to that tid bit of info, some of the vo’s were saying the man that poisoned King Brutus was associated with Apsara, so if that is the case, of course Apsara Authorities are going to try an say it was something other than a poisoning. In all honesty, we have no way of knowing who is telling the truth. And I never said that Wildlife Alliance was not contacted appropriately and that Lori and Amari was donated to them. Those are your words, not mine. I believe they were contacted because the vo’s watched and taped Lori falling off a table because she was so drugged up she could not sit up without falling and flopping all over the table, they say what damage they did to her, that is why Wildlife Alliance was contacted. See for yourself, turn up the volumn and listen, you can hear and see exactly when Lori fell from the table, her little body twisted and contorted when they lyed her bck on the tble. Please, watch the whole video and tell me they did not do that to her.
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=baby+lori+nearly+fall+loosing+sense&view=detail&mid=766799F063542E32BAEB766799F063542E32BAEB&FORM=VIRE
I choose not to believe everything that Apsara Authorities supposedly said, after all it was an Apsara guard that hit Lori in the head in the first place. Plus I have already forwarded that video and still shots taken from when Lori was hit, showing the Apsara guard’s blue shirt and patch as well as the yellow radio clipped on his belt in back, to someone that is going to approach Apsara Authority about it. Lori deserves some justice for what was done to her.
So the problem is the people that sit and do nothing except make comments in the comment section, not the people that are actually trying to make a difference and help the long tailed macaques at Angkor in a productive manner. And it sounds like you are the one that does not have all the facts, assuming things rather that researching and contacting people that could possibly do something. Maybe try doing something constructive to actually help, rather sitting and being preachy, telling everyone else that they are the problem.

Thank you Mary I have been teaching for an agency to contact.
This morning Achap, the alpha of the Amari group, showed up with another 3 serious wounds to his face and neck. He already had a head wound inflicted a week ago.
I believe the VO’s are orchestrating a grand opera involving repeated wounds to Achap and eventually his death. This is too serious to wait till the government responds, there needs to be a rapid response to save the monkeys being abused.
I feel powerless to do anything what should I do. I don’t know how to get through to these Alliance people.
That is great news that you all would like to reunite them. Lori should be with her mother because I do not think Amari will be around for a long time. I am so happy that you took both of them but especially Lori. I have mixed feelings but I would rather see Lori with your organization than back in the wild where she will suffer. Oh, by the way, before you reunite them can you please give Amari a breast lift? (Just making a joke). Poor thing, her breast look so bad. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for keeping us posted. We want to get them directly from you while you have the time. Maybe down the line you can let us know the big milestones for the girls! It will keep a great deal of activity on your website and I know that will result in more donations to help you continue this great work! Rumors abound and we don’t want to support any media who did not comply with your generosity allowing them to film or follow your rules. It’s been said that this had occurred and you will no longer allow them to film.
My wish is to support the videographers who have genuine motives. I’m certain that the one who contacted you and who has been genuine in his care & concern for these Angkor monkeys for years. His name is Ley Socchun. For now he’s the one I will support. There’s a monk who films too, Nature Monkey who has been sincere as well. Hope others will follow. But I really hope folks act on facts and not rumor which is why I’m posting this here to allow for correction!
?❤️???? to the Wildlife Alliance!
Hey to my wonderful friends with positive and open hearts! Maybe someday we can put together a group to visit by way of “book a tour”. It wouldn’t be any fun doing it alone or with anyone who isn’t so into our incredible cousins! There are a few of you I’d love to meet in person… Happy Holidays12342468, MoonmaidenNYC(vivi), Quarky chick, Bgillie, Bill24799, bellesmom2012, splashy puddle….and other wonder smart people I’ve come to respect! A field trip to Phnom Tamao zoo and the temple would be so damn cool!!! ❤️
Lora M
I believe the monkeys at Angkor Wat temple are being deliberately hurt. You must act ASAP
I believe that this VO business has gotten so out of hand that some agency needs to step in. There are many complains over the last 4 months but nothing has been done. There is not even an answer to address complaints. .
Why should they put a stop to what has been a boon in the local economy? Because the abuse of these indigenous populations of monkeys looks bad for Cambodia and may have more far reaching effect than anticipated.
It also looks bad for the supposed conservation groups who have a strong presence in the area.
It looks bad politically for a government who professes to support conservation.
It looks bad when the complaints of so many people outside of Cambodia are not addressed which appears to , puts a lie to commitment to stop animal cruelty .
The overarching reason is that these innocent creatures are being abused.
Please let me know what I can do. If it is money to support policing at the Temple area I will give.
Pease respond. It its so very upsetting.
I don’t know how long it takes for the moderator to respond to post but this an an emergency. One monkey at Angkor Wat is being hurt daily. He is Achap, the alpha of the Amari group. he has had 2 terrible wounds in 3 days plus another 2 weeks ago. The VO are slowly killing him.
For Gods sake, just take a ride there and investigate. Please protect Achap till he recovers.
The girls look great! Thank you!
Y’all Rock. Very kind of you to address people’s questions. Everyone in all the different roles are busy enough each day to count for two.
As you can tell many of us are very invested in Lori. I for one find no reason to question your care for Lori or any other little soul in your trust. This organization is being good stewards of God’s creation. I hope to be able to send a donation soon.
Thank you to all the caretakers there at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Alliance Rescue. You are so kind to take in and care for Amari and Lori.
I think Amari is very happy with the room service at your facility and she loves the young man who brings her the all you can eat buffet every day.
I apologize for Amari’s poor table manners but I think she is doing better now as she is not going through her food platter like a buzz saw anymore.
I think by now you have learned that Lori has a powerful, strong spirit. There are those who would have looked at Lori when she first arrived there and said there is nothing we can do…this monkey is hopelessly brain damaged. Look how far she has come in such a short time
Lori will never give up on herself as long as you don’t give up on her.
Lori does NOT know how to spell the word ” Fail “……well mainly because macaques are terrible at spelling.
I live on a very low disablity income but I am mailing today a $20.00 donation to your office in NYC in the name of Amari and Lori.
I spoke to Jess on the phone at that office and she is very nice and she was very aware of Amari and Lori.
Bless you all for protecting these beautiful animals.
Bill
WHERE HAS LORI GONE? WHY NO UPDATES?
Thank you all for taking such great care of Lori & Amari. We all miss them so much. They are very special girls, and I look forward to visiting them, and all of the beautiful animals that you take care of at your park someday! :)
I am concerned that you haven’t issued an update on Lori. I am worried that something has happened to her. Would you please let us know her status? Thank you.
18.12.2018 I was rather concerned to find no new videos about Lori and Amani while they lived in the parkside. They seemed to have disappeared. I recently found your YouTube video posted about 3 weeks ago. It is wonderful how good Lori’s health and condition have improved. She was so sick and debilitated when I last viewed a video about her.
Since there was no narration in English, I did not understand just how critical her condition had become, just that she looked worse each time a video was posted.
All of your staff are doing a wonderful job of healing with this pair. Hopefully with the continued care and regular nutritious meals, they both will continue to show such wonderful progression.
please let us see Lori and Amariwe miss them so much thanks
Happy New Year to you alk
I know there is so many animals to being care and time is always short for doing all but why we cant get any news from Lori and Amari anymore,please sometimes you can update few words and pictures about this girls.Thank you !
I am trying to find out what happened to Axel, a pet monkey that was dropped off at Angkor Wat near the Amari and Amber troops. An unmarked white extended cab pickup picked him up on Thirsday or Friday, April 4th or 5th. The orphan Sabrina was picked up the same day but not in the same truck and not the same people. The people that pi krd up Axel were not wearing g the green uniforms either.
What can you tell us about axel? Is he ok and not missing the people who took care of him at Angkor. We miss him so much. Any feedback or video will be appreciated.
Thank you for all your efforts.
An opthalmologist from the Cleveland Eye Clinic would like to help Amari and Lori. Dr. William Wiley performed successful cataract surgery on a tamarin monkey at the Akron Zoo in Ohio. He wants to not only help Amari and Lori. .he also wants to offer free cataract surgery to the people of Cambodia who cannot afford cataract surgery. We are in the process of gathering information on whether Amari and Lori could benefit from his services, certainly the people can. Please support this venture…of course this will have to work in conjunction with the Wildlife Alliance, who are doing their very best to care for the macaques and all endangered animals in their area, with little funding. Those who are in support of helping not only Amari and Lori but also the beautiful people of this region…please contact Dr. William Wiley of the Cleveland Eye Clinic in Ohio at (440) 366-6969. Thank you! And yes, we can make a difference. Humans are in charge of this earth…it is OUR duty to care for animals. The earth has many children…not just humans. Please support Dr Wiley working with the Wildlife Alliance for these beautiful creatures!
Dr. William Wiley is interested in working with Wildlife Alliance in providing cataract surgery for Amari. He has successfully performed cataract surgery on a tamarin monkey at the Akron Zoo in Ohio. He also wants to offer free cataract surgery for Cambodians ( people) while there, who cannot afford it. Dr. Wiley is an opthalmologist from the Cleveland Eye Clinic in Ohio! Please support this venture! In giving support to the wonderful job the Wildlife Alliance has done and for the beautiful people of Cambodia!
