Dear Friends of Tacugama, 

We hope the past month treated you well! As we do every month, we invite you to read our own successes, struggles and accomplisments during June. You can download a pdf version of the report here. We are continuously greatful for your support and wish you all the best. 

It is more important now than ever before to follow international disease mitigation guidelines when visiting wild great apes.

We are proud to have helped with the data collection that saw guards from East, Central and West Africa interviewed to better understand how to protect great apes and people involved in wild African great ape tourism. We are excited to use the materials in the training of the guards to protect you and the chimpanzees from disease. #Protectgreatapes💕

Luna ❤ Firar idag sin 10:de födelsedag!

GRATTIS LUNA! ❤

2,5 month ago, on Independence Day, The President of the Republic of SIerra Leone, Rtd. Brig. Julius Maada Bio awarded our founder Bala Amarasekaran with The Order of the Rokel for his outstanding services to the republic of Sierra Leone marking
significant steps forward in the country’s respect for its environment and wildlife.

This Sunday we were honoured with a visit by the president, together with his wife, the First Lady and their wonderful children showing us again their support for Chimpanzee conservation and environmental protection.

Our sanctuary is currently closed due to the 3rd wave of Covid-19. But for this very special occasion we were happy to open our doors.

We hope we can reopen soon for all our friends and visitors! In the mean time, stay safe friends!

Sierra Leone is currently experiencing its 3rd Wave of COVID-19. As a result, we have had to close down the sanctuary once more. This is never an easy decision due to the great hit upon our daily income, but the health and safety of the chimpanzees and workers at Tacugama is our priority.

Hos J.A.C.K finns det lika många schimpanser som det finns olika berättelser.. Man ska komma ihåg är att de alla har ett smärtsamt förflutet, men tack vare J.A.C.K så fick de en andra chans till ett värdigt schimpansliv. ❤

To stop protecting our national animal is not an option. But we could really use your help and support now friends, since we had to close our sanctuary again due to rising COVID19 cases in the country.
