About this organization
Mission
To provide sanctuary for chimpanzee orphans in Cameroon while spearheading and supporting habitat protection, law enforcement and conservation education programs.
About
Chimpanzee rescue located in Cameroons remote Mbargue Forest, Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center provides sanctuary in a natural habitat environment for chimpanzee orphans of the illegal bushmeat trade. When a poacher kills a mother chimpanzee, her nursing infant can be sold alive as a pet in Cameroon or smuggled out to meet the growing demand for African wildlife in Asian zoos. Some of the seventy-two resident chimpanzees at the center have been confiscated as infants from poachers or dealers, and others have suffered on chains or in small cages for decades before their rescue. At our sanctuary, which is committed to lifelong care, the emotionally damaged chimpanzees eventually find friendship and joy in adoptive social groups. They enjoy large enclosure complexes that include tracts of natural habitat forest protected with solar-powered electric fencing. In addition to our seven chimpanzee enclosure complexes, which together include over forty acres of enclosed forest, the grounds of Sanaga-Yong Rescue Center include a vet clinic, diagnostic lab, education center, staff and volunteer housing, visitor lodging, kitchen and dining area, office, fruit storage room and shelter for staff meetings and meals.
