Des­pi­te move­ment dif­fi­cul­ties cau­sed by the pan­de­mic, 7 infant chim­pan­zees were res­cued by Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, which almost cer­tainly means the death of more than 50 adults by poa­chers  for bush­meat and the sale of the­se little ones.

She has arri­ved at the CRPL woun­ded, weak, very thin and qui­te trau­ma­ti­zed, as you can see, without trus­ting the team. We are sure that the care pro­vi­ded at the cen­ter will com­fort her after having lost her mother and her family group.

Each of the­se crea­tu­res, as well as all the other pri­ma­te spe­cies taken in, is a fai­lu­re in the con­ser­va­tion of the­se species.

SOS Pri­ma­tes has con­ti­nued to sup­port Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, and we will soon be making our annual dona­tion to the cen­tre, with all the dona­tions rai­sed in 2020. If you’d like to join our family of pri­ma­te pro­tec­tors, join our Tea­ming group for only €1 a month.
