There are approximately 2090 plant species and 147 known species of mammals in Sierra Leone, including our National Animal the Chimpanzee.

Did you know that the chimpanzee is a large seed-spreader? They help our forest grow and from healthy forests we all benefit.

To protect our national animal, we are launching a new campaign called the ”Chimpanzee National Awareness & Protection Campaign”. To inform, educate and sensitize the people of Sierra Leone about the importance of Chimpanzees.

NEW PROJECT – Action for Chimpanzees – Disrupting the Illegal Wildlife Trade in West Africa

’Action For Chimpanzees’ goal is to reduce the poaching and trafficking of chimpanzees originating from or transiting through West Africa. Along with other sanctuaries in West Africa and PASA Primates: Pan African Sanctuary Alliance we will utilize invaluable local knowledge, international expertise, innovative technology and increased collaboration, transparency and data-sharing across agencies and borders to disrupt the illegal trade in chimpanzees in West Africa.

The project is funded by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotic and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL)
