The Chimpanzees of Tchimpounga Sanctuary from the Jane Goodall Institute on Vimeo.
Why become a Chimp Guardian?
Your donations will be used to:
Support a sanctuary in the Republic of Congo for chimpanzees orphaned by poachers. This is a place where young chimpanzees can live together with as much freedom as possible, in the care of experienced and loving keepers. There is also a study underway to determine if the rescued orphans can be reintroduced to the wild.
Protect important wild chimpanzee populations and address the root causes of the bushmeat trade by working with local people and governments to protect key areas of forests where wild chimpanzees live.
