The des­truc­tion of natu­re is never-ending. In the last few days the first chim­pan­zee of 2021, an infant fema­le named Bwa­fa­sen­de, arri­ved with infec­ted wounds around her waist whe­re she had been tied up by poa­chers. You can watch the vete­ri­nary exa­mi­na­tion and the remo­val of this rope in this video. As you know, this sug­gests the killing of her mother and part of her group, and shows that the hun­ting of ani­mals for bush­meat doesn’t stop even in the midst of the pan­de­mic. This is the 98th chim­pan­zee. And if we count the 105 mon­keys who also live at Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, the figu­re is appa­lling: more than 200 orphans are resi­dent there.

If you still haven’t deci­ded to beco­me an SOS Pri­ma­tes tea­mer for only €1/month you can join our group. The­re are now 135 of us, and the money we’re rai­sing is hel­ping to feed the­se crea­tu­res who never should have left the jungle.

Will you join our family?
