West African Primate Conservation

WAPCA was established in 2001 by 11 European zoos (of which Dublin Zoo was one) and two nature conservation organisations. Its aim is to conserve the endangered primate species found in the upper Guinean rainforest of western Africa and protect their habitats. White-naped mangabeys, which are housed in Dublin Zoo, are one of the target species and they are classified as Endangered by the IUCN Red List. Dublin Zoo currently provides yearly financial support.

In 2018, Dublin Zoo organised a donation of second-hand uniforms for rangers working for WAPCA.
