We are one step closer to having a launch date for our new project co-managing the protection of Outamba Kilimi K PS, in collaboration with #wildchimpanzeefoundation.

Thanks to this project, Tacugama is now involved in protecting 3 out of Sierra Leone’s 4 National Parks!

Do you remember Milo, the baby that was born two months ago?

Look how much he has grown!!
Milo is one of the lucky ones, growing up with his own mum Molly at the sanctuary.

The community eco-guards in Loma Mountains National Park are trained by Tacugama to obtain evidence of logging, hunting and setting of snares within the Park. They also know how to identify wildlife remains, chimp footprint, nests, and feeding remains.

These hero’s of wildlife conservation are vital to protect Loma’s critical chimp population and safeguarding the park’s rich biodiversity.

Help us this #givingdayforapes Apes with environmental education in 14 schools around Loma.

This year Tacugama’s Kids Environmental Education Workbook is officially integrated in Sierra Leone’s National Curriculum. Children from all 18.000 schools will now get the opportunity to learn more about the Country’s National Animal – the Western Chimpanzee as well as a range of other topics, including the effects of deforestation, the role species play in our ecosystem and ways to protect Mama Salone💪

A true milestone and we are ready to take the next step by implementing the program in 14 schools in Loma Mountains National Park.

But we need your help to provide all the school children with our Environmental Education Schoolbook.

Will you help us reach our goal? For 10 USD we can print 2 books!
