The past month of August a group of 9 peo­ple visi­ted Ugan­da on a tour in which they visi­ted the main natio­nal parks of the Afri­can country, inclu­ding Mur­chi­son Falls NP, Kiba­le NP, Queen Eli­sa­beth NP, Bwin­di Impe­ne­tra­ble Forest NP, Lake Mbu­ro NP and Kide­po NP.

Two of the mem­bers of the expe­di­tion are friends with a wor­ker from the Con­ser­va­tion Area of the Bar­ce­lo­na Zoo, who, as you know, gives unu­sed uni­forms to the fau­na reha­bi­li­ta­tion cen­ters, a mana­ge­ment orga­ni­zed by SOS Pri­ma­tes.

The group trans­por­ted 96kg of work equip­ment to the care­ta­kers of the Ngam­ba Island Chim­pan­zee Sanc­tuary, which belongs to the Fede­ra­tion of pri­ma­te sanc­tua­ries PASA: Pan Afri­can Sanc­tuary Allian­ce. It shel­ters 52 chim­pan­zees on the island of Lake Victoria.

This was arran­ged without char­ge for our NGO becau­se the equip­ment allo­wed by inter­na­tio­nal flights was used, which was pic­ked up by the staff when it arri­ved at the airport.

In the pho­to, you can see wor­kers dis­pla­ying some of the uniforms.

Thank you to all of tho­se involved(Xavi, Ele­na, Luis, Sònia, Jana, Núria, Maria, Albert, and Cami­lo) and espe­cially all the volun­teers of SOS Pri­ma­tes who dedi­ca­te them­sel­ves each day to hel­ping pri­ma­tes in an altruis­tic manner.

If you tra­vel to one of the coun­tries whe­re the­re are pri­ma­tes or other ani­mal cen­ters, and you’d like to help, don’t hesi­ta­te to con­tact us so we can orga­ni­ze a delivery.
