About JGIA Chimp Guardianship Campaign
The Jane Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo is where more than 150 rescued orphan chimpanzees receive lifetime care. Often, these chimpanzees arrive injured, sick or malnourished from illegal commercial bush meat and exotic pet trades.
YOU can make the difference in the lives of our orphaned chimps by becoming their Chimp Guardian. With your help, the chimpanzees like our Anzac, Lemba and Mbebo, will receive the love and care that they need to recover and grow. Once they are rehabilitated they will be moved to our sanctuaries where they will live the rest of their lives in a natural habitat protected from poachers.
