News from CPRL – Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, in the Demo­cra­tic Repu­blic of Congo:

No chim­pan­zees have been moved from the cen­ter, des­pi­te attem­pts to relo­ca­te them. The team extends its gra­ti­tu­de to the civil autho­ri­ties of South Kivu pro­vin­ce and to envi­ron­men­tal civil society groups for their tre­men­do­us support.

At the same time, the con­flict is approa­ching the area. For now, both staff and pri­ma­tes remain safe. Inten­si­ve efforts are under­way to pro­tect the ani­mals, with 24-hour shifts ope­ra­ting throughout the week.

At SOS Pri­ma­tes, we hope that pea­ce and sta­bi­lity will soon return to a region we know is fra­gi­le, but which we sup­port wholeheartedly.
