Today we announ­ce very bad news;  little ‘Mulu’, who arri­ved weeks ago, has died. The cau­se is the seve­re infec­tion and malnu­tri­tion she suf­fe­red. Sadly, she could­n’t win the battle and died last night. Rest in pea­ce, little one. Even though a few days ago she see­med to reco­ver due to per­ma­nent nur­sing from the CRPL team, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes (24 hours all week), she perished. It’s always tra­gic to say goodb­ye to ani­mals, but more devas­ta­ting to mourn their babies, who were only star­ting to live and had to face the terri­ble situa­tion of wat­ching their mother die in the hands of poachers.

Here, in the Wes­tern region, we can do seve­ral actions to stop this situa­tion; rai­se awa­re­ness, edu­ca­te and sha­re this situa­tion. Urge the wes­tern govern­ments to help Afri­ca in their fight against poverty, and to punish bush meat con­sum­ption. Con­tri­bu­te to the NGOs that work in order to res­cue spe­cies, like SOS Pri­ma­tes.
