Yes­ter­day we wrap­ped up the SOS­li­dary 2022 calen­dar cam­paign as we sent out the last order. As we told you, we collec­ted a total of 2,007.34 euros in dona­tions for Lola ya Bono­bo Sanc­tuary , Friends of Bono­bos, in DR Con­go. We have sur­pas­sed the num­ber of calen­dars dis­tri­bu­ted in 2020 thanks to our teams and peo­ple who orde­red theirs from far away pla­ces like the Uni­ted Sta­tes or Australia.

The board of SOS Pri­ma­tes knows first-hand how good of a job they do in the bono­bo sanc­tuary. Raúl Cabre­ra joi­ned by our volun­teer San­dra Rou­co, pri­ma­te spe­cia­list care­ta­ker in the Zoo Aqua­rium of Madrid, were the­re hel­ping for 2 weeks with various tasks: food pre­pa­ra­tion, obser­va­tion tasks for dif­fe­rent groups and many others. All that with spe­cial empha­sis on the envi­ron­men­tal enrich­ment for a bono­bo reco­ve­ring from sur­gery. In the pho­to, from left to right: San­dra, Fanny Mine­si (execu­ti­ve direc­tor of the sanc­tuary), Raphäel Belais (vete­ri­nary), Clau­di­ne André (foun­der of the sanc­tuary) and Raúl.

Soon we will tell which pri­ma­te reha­bi­li­ta­tion cen­tre for which we will be collec­ting dona­tions through the 2023 calendar.

Thanks, ever­yo­ne!
