The veterinary team has initiated medication to strengthen him, and he will remain under Mama P’s constant supervision for the time being.

Thank you all for your kind words and support over the past days.💚We hope to give you another and positive update on Shine’s well-being soon🙏

#Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Last week the Girls Empowerment Program with some of our scholars went on a field trip to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary located in the heart of the Western Area Peninsula Forest Reserve of Sierra Leone. From a single chimp in 1995 the sanctuary has grown to 117 Chimps presently living in the sanctuary. We had a great experience at Tacugama. Through our experienced guides we learnt about the origin and the founder of the sanctuary, as well as, the behaviour, lifestyle & integration of chimps and the sanctuary’s mission of rearing them. It has been an inspiring trip for our scholars who have never been to a wildlife sanctuary before. Thank you for having us Tacugama!

#Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Sierra Leone’s civil conflict left a legacy of suffering, and Santos is a survivor of this brutal civil war. Rebel forces hacked off one of his hands when he was a teenager.

Despite his disability, Santos has taught himself to be a woodcarver and was recruited in January 2006 as part of Tacugama’s community support drive. It inspires everyone to see this young man not losing hope and trying hard to secure a future for his family.

He enjoys watching and drawing our chimps and transforming them into beautiful works of art.

Find these beautiful pieces of art in our shop when you visit us.

#J.A.C.K

🌿 Cal est le plus jeune des trois derniers bébés chimpanzés sauvés dernièrement. Malheureusement, son début de vie n’a pas été doux et aimant. Alors qu’à cet âge-là, les bébés chimpanzés sont normalement accrochés au ventre de leur maman, Cal était détenue attaché à un arbre.

Cette expérience traumatisante a laissé des cicatrices profondes chez Cal. Il est devenu sensible et fragile mentalement, se repliant sur lui-même dans un monde d’angoisse et de peur. Mais la vie lui a réservé une chance inespérée lorsqu’il a été secouru et placé à J.A.C.K.

C’est là qu’il a rencontré Linda, Mpo, les deux autres bébés chimpanzés sauvés, et Bénito, son papa de substitution. Ensemble, ils ont formé une petite famille solidaire. Il sait qu’il peut compter sur eux pour l’accompagner dans chaque étape de son parcours. Ils sont ses piliers, sa source d’inspiration et son soutien inconditionnel.

🌿 Cal is the youngest of the last three chimpanzee babies rescued recently. Unfortunately, his start in life has not been gentle and loving. While chimpanzee babies at this age are normally clinging to their mom’s belly, Cal was being held tied to a tree.
This traumatic experience left deep scars in Cal, who became sensitive and mentally fragile, withdrawing into himself in a world of anxiety and fear. But life dealt him an unexpected blow when he was rescued and placed at J.A.C.K..

There he met Linda, Mpo, the two other rescued baby chimpanzees, and Bénito, his surrogate dad. Together, they have formed a close-knit family. He knows he can count on them to support him every step of the way. They are his pillars, his source of inspiration and his unconditional support.
