A great new sustainable booking platform for like-minded eco-communities, guesthouses, B&Bs, and eco-villages like ours!

Check it out to support smaller, off-grid spaces where you can genuinely disconnect and immerse yourself in nature. Mass tourism is not the future we want to live in. 🌱✨

A New Beginning for Luffy: Sanctuary, Not a Pet ~

Many of you have noticed Luffy sucking his finger. While it might look like a simple habit, it’s actually a sign of the deep trauma he suffered after losing his mother in Mondulkiri.

This self-soothing is a risk to his health—intense sucking can cut off circulation to the finger—and in the wild, this sign of "weakness" would lead to him being rejected by other monkeys.

Our goal is to heal his mind through play and stimulus. When he’s running and exploring, he forgets the habit.

*The Story*
Luffy was orphaned after his mother was killed. He was kept in a cage at a roadside restaurant in Sihanoukville until we rescued him. We want to be clear: Luffy is not a pet. We do not support the trading or owning of wild animals. He is a rescued being we are honoring and protecting.

Rehabilitation is a slow process of love and patience:

* Foraging: We’re introducing him to jungle fruits and nuts so he can feed himself.

* Safety: He has a safe space for now, but we are moving toward a "soft release" where he can have a big space to roam.

* Coexistence: We are teaching him to live alongside humans and animals with respect—learning that we don’t take from each other (including sunglasses!).

We are now looking into building a professional, large-scale enclosure here. Many sanctuaries in Cambodia are full, and we hope to offer a home to other rescued babies who need a place to forage and grow.

⚠️ CALLING ANYONE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT BABY MACAQUES - EDUCATION & REHABILITATION SPACES in SEA or ABROAD

willing to offer sleep & food in exchange for on-site guidance and learning together.

Students professionals and seniors can apply !!!

DONATIONS WELCOME FOR ENCLOSURE CREATION!

Luffy is a reminder of why we must protect Koh Ta Kiev and other wildlife which are facing hunters- environrmental dangers and illegal trade/ gifting every day.

Stay tuned for more on his journey and our upcoming projects to preserve this island’s wildlife and coastlines.

Not just a sanctuary for people anymore ...
