July 14th marks #World­Chim­pan­zee­Day, an occa­sion esta­blished by Dr. Jane Goo­dall to draw public atten­tion to the plight of chim­pan­zees in their nati­ve habitats.

The NGOs dedi­ca­ted to pri­ma­te con­ser­va­tion, our­sel­ves inclu­ded, sei­ze this day to rai­se awa­re­ness, edu­ca­te about the threats the­se crea­tu­res endu­re, and collect dona­tions to sup­port reco­very cen­ters. In our case, we con­tri­bu­te to the CRPL, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, in the Demo­cra­tic Repu­blic of the Con­go, which pro­vi­des refu­ge to over 100 orpha­ned chim­pan­zees like Sue­na, pictured.

That is why today we have been pre­sent at the Madrid Zoo Aqua­rium with our volun­teers María, Nata­lia, and Mari­sa, and tomo­rrow we will be at the Bar­ce­lo­na Zoo.

We invi­te you to greet us and learn about our work, with enga­ging acti­vi­ties plan­ned for the youn­ger visitors.
