AAP
– Rescue centre for Exotic Mammals
The goal and ideal of AAP is to improve, the welfare of abused or
neglected primates and small- to medium-sized exotic mammals from all over
Europe in a professional manner. This is achieved by
providing shelter to animals victim of illegal trade, circuses, animal-testing
laboratories or private individuals. For most animals we will find suitable
homes worldwide in reserves, zoos or in our own permanent shelter in the south
of Spain.
AAP is also actively and strategically involved in animal welfare
issues by influencing both Dutch and European policy- and decision-makers in
this field and working together with professional groups at home and abroad.
Furthermore, AAP is an international authoritative knowledge centre.
We employ about 70 paid staff and more than 100 volunteers. AAP is
situated in the middle of a green area
near Almere. There is nowhere
else you would directly see the result of your efforts – each animal taken into
our care makes a recovery. AAP distinguishes itself by having an enormous
passion and a professional, open culture. Our core values, accessibility,
dedication and inventiveness form
important guidelines.
