#Givingdayforapes ❤

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!

Today, on #internationalprimateday 🐵, we introduce to you: Bidi! ❤

Bidi is originally from Bo district. A mechanic had her until he was informed of the fines he would have to pay if kept her so he gave her up and she was brought to us by IMATT (International Military and Advisory Training Team) when she was 3 years old, back in in 2007.

Since then Bidi has become one quiet young adult female leader of the group New C.
She has the “power” of stomping her feet really loud. She enjoys eating bulgur, oranges and cucumbers.
Many years ago Bidi lost her best friend and since then she is open and excited to make new friends.

Tika & his friends are consuming 250kg of fruit & vegetables daily! 🍌🍇🍊
