Sophie de Turckheim has been working at Trentham Monkey Forest since it first opened its gates in 2005. Originally from Strasbourg, France, here the 37-year-old talks about living and working at the Monkey Forest with her husband Guillaume and sharing her life with 140 Barbary Macaques.

Why did you decide to work at the Monkey Forest?

Well, being married to Guillaume, whose father started the Monkey Forests, was a big deciding factor. I was previously working for the Council Of Europe, but together Guillaume and I decided it would be nice to try to work together.
