Monkey Island has been around since the 1960s and very little has been done to maintain it – until now. Renovations are now underway on the island, but the work isn't done after that is completed. Monkeys still need to be fed and cared for. Locals know that Ralph, Ebony and Emily are getting older and it is even more expensive to replace them. That’s why fundraising is an important part of the historic island’s existence.
