TRANSLATION:
Three members of staff had been made redundant and the charity can no longer take on additional rescue animals at the moment.
Director Sarah Hanson said: "Traditionally, we have opened our doors to the public; we love having the public here - it is one of our charity aims of education.
"We're talking about the monkeys in our care, the plight of primates in the UK and their pet trade, and about the wider need for primate conservation worldwide.â€
According to the charity, with the limited resources it had, the focus was on the 31 animals in its care and their welfare, and the promise that they would have a "home for life".

TRANSLATION

The film, Hegoledh, which is Cornish for "Superstition", bought some winter excitement to Durgan.
The story tells of the mysterious disappearance of all the fish from the river and the search for an explanation.
Durgan is an ideal setting to explore the uneasy relationship between Cornwall's past and present.
The hamlet - featuring pretty granite buildings and stunning views - used to be dominated by fishing families, nets and boats.
Now seven of the 15 houses are owned and rented out by the National Trust, including the old schoolhouse.
The film is expected to be released in May and is due to tour Cornish cinemas and international film festivals.

TRANSLATION

Locals told Clean Ocean Sailing there was a vehicle which had been left in Polpeor Cove for more than eight weeks after being swamped.
The charity used a 50-year-old VW campervan called Cecil to pull the wreck above the high tide line but it was not powerful enough to tow the wreck away.
A date for the operation has yet to be set, but volunteer and former rugby player Kate Green said a friendship with the Cornish Pirates meant 30 "Cornish - all women - rugby players are on standby to give a hand to Cecil in his final effort".
The women had already taken part in a practice run.
According to the charity it would work with the women to prepare a strategy on how to safely get the remains of the van up the steep hill together.
That’s all from me, have a good week.
