The Cleveland Way, 6 August 2021
Siti, a lone young macaque rescued from the illegal pet trade in Malaysia, urgently needs to be transported back to her native home in Indonesia where she can join other macaques. Please help us raise the funds needed to give Siti a chance to thrive.

Story

I am going to walk The Cleveland Way with my Dachsund Luna to raise funds for Wild Welfare. The Cleveland Way is 107 miles in total and the route starts in Helmsley North Yorkshire, follows the edge of the Yorkshire Moors National Park and finishes on the coast in Filey. The walk should take 12 days to complete and I am going to walk it in stages as Luna only has little legs! :) I aim to complete the walk by the 31st October 2021.

I am raising funds to help Siti the macaque (who was rescued from the illegal pet trade) move to a sanctuary, so she can have a better life! Any amount you can donate, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference to her - thank you!!

Please find her story below:

Siti is a Moor Macaque (Macaca maura) rescued from the illegal pet trade and currently living on her own at Lok Kawi Wildlife Park in Sabah, Malaysia. Macaques are a very social species and she desperately needs to be with others of her own kind. Moor Macaques are endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, so her current carers have asked Wild Welfare for help in repatriating her there.Wild Welfare have found Siti a new home at Tasikoki Wildlife Rescue Centres Macaque Sanctuary, which can provide for her needs. There she will have the company of other macaques and will be integrated into a small group of young rescued individuals. Moor Macaques are Sulawesis most endangered species, so Siti is very important for their conservation and survival and it is hoped that this small troop will have the possibility of eventual release.By donating you will be helping Wild Welfare transport Siti to her new home, improve her welfare and the overall conservation of her species.

Thank you!
