Impact of Your Donation
Donations are used to provide life-saving care for the 72 orphaned chimpanzees at the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center; rescue operations to confiscate illegally held chimpanzees; and an extensive public education program that includes television and radio spots. Our mission is to protect orphan chimpanzees and to fight for the conservation of the remaining free-living wild chimpanzees. When possible, we aim to release chimpanzees into protect wildlife areas.
