Back Where They Belong: Ten Young Macaques Return to the Wild

24 July 2026

we are beyond thrilled to share the incredible conclusion to a fight for survival that started back in January this year.

Working hand-in-hand with Afghanistan’s National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA), the Nowzad team officially released 10 young macaques this week - back into the wild in Laghman Province, where they belong!

After being rescued by NEPA and Nowzad from Nimroz Province in the east (some of you may remember our Facebook post and newsletter back then?) and then spending time with our vets in rehabilitation gaining strength, health, and confidence, these brave young primates have taken their very first steps back into their natural habitat this week.

Check out the video and photos below to watch them head home...

Thank you for helping us do our bit for the wildlife of Afghanistan - every little thing helps.

As winter approaches in Kabul, dropping temperatures bring real challenges for the animals in our care — especially our elderly shelter dogs with aching joints, like Diesel, Babri, and Fury, Ramy with her chronic skin condition, and then also any young pups recovering in our emergency hospital. To keep our most vulnerable patients safe and comfortable, we are building three dedicated, heated kennels at our Kabul Hospital. And guess what??! If you donate, it will go twice as far! All thanks t

This week, our volunteer David attended a brilliant Bingo Night at The Cedars Inn in Barnstaple, where they kindly hold monthly events in support of local charities. A huge thank you to our wonderful Bideford charity shop volunteers, Carol and Sharon, who nominated Nowzad to benefit from this month’s event. With almost 100 people joining in, it was certainly eyes down for Nowzad! Thanks to the generosity of everyone who took part in the bingo, together with the raffle organised by Carol and Sh
