Conservationist

Anyone familiar with the programme Monkey Business (1997) will be aware of Cronin's legacy, the Dorset-based animal sanctuary Monkey World. Established in 1987, the site became the focus of Cronin's rescue and rehabilitation for chimps and primates the world over and now attracts half a million visitors per year.
