Today we sha­re the­se sad ima­ges of a new con­fis­ca­ted baby chim­pan­zee that arri­ved at the CRPL, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, two days ago. She was in a villa­ge wee­ping incon­so­lably. Babies like her need to be in their mothe­r’s arms and have con­tact. The voi­ce you hear is trying to soothe her and telling her not to be upset, but what this little orphan is asking for is someo­ne to hold her. She is the third baby in ten days, so you can ima­gi­ne that at least fif­teen adults have died from being con­su­med as bushmeat.

All of this takes a toll on the fee­ding expen­ses at the CRPL, so we urge you to help us. On the SOS Pri­ma­tes web­si­te, you have many options to colla­bo­ra­te that fit all pos­si­bi­li­ties, from 1 euro to dona­ting your times.
