INTERNATIONAL MACAQUE WEEK 2025
The first week of May is all about macaques!
Join the annual global celebration of these fascinating, important and threatened primates!
International Macaque Week is a chance for individuals and organizations to promote understanding and respect, to spread the word, and to fundraise for their macaque advocacy efforts! Here is a sneak-peek into this year's activities: educational resources, #RespectTheirNature campaign and virtual tours!
How did International Macaque Week Start?
International Macaque Week was founded by Barbary Macaque Awareness and Conservation. Initially it was a single-day event to be held annually in March - but there was so much enthusiasm that it was quickly extended to a whole week.
Since 2024, International Macaque Week has been coordinated by the AfA Macaque Coalition (MACC).
