A barbary macaque at Trentham Monkey Forest.

Trentham Monkey Forest is a visitor attraction in Staffordshire, England. It is part of the Trentham Estate. It consists of 60 acres of forest, which contain 140 Barbary macaque. There is a 0.75 miles (1.21 km) path through the forest along which visitors walk; there are no barriers between the forest and the path. The macaque are originally from other parks in France and Germany.[1] One aim of the park is to increase awareness about the endangered species; it also aims to create and preserve a gene pool and to re-introduce groups of macaque into the wild. Over 600 macaque from the forest's three sister parks have been re-introduced to the wild at the Atlas Mountains, Morocco.[2] The forest also has a conference venue.[3]
