Happy World Chimpanzee Day!!!!! About World Chimpanzee Day: In honor of humankind’s closest living relative, World Chimpanzee Day is a celebration of chimpanzees and an opportunity to raise awareness about the vital need for worldwide participation in their care, protection, and conservation in the wild and in captivity. July 14, 1960, is the day Dr. Jane Goodall first stepped foot in what is now Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, to study wild chimpanzees. Dr. Goodall called attention to the remarkable chimpanzee and to this day, six decades later, advocates on their behalf. Goals of World Chimpanzee Day: - Celebrate our closest living relative in the animal kingdom. - Share understanding and inspire action by educating global audiences about their uniqueness, importance, and similarities to humans. - Raise awareness about threats they face in the wild including habitat loss, disease, and wildlife trafficking and promote their proper care in captive situations. Source: worldchimpanzeeday.org Join us in celebrating World Chimpanzee Day today July 14 2020 and add to your plan to visit the DRC a trip to Lwiro Sanctuary. Lwiro Sanctuary is one of the unique sanctuaries for its rich biodiversity. It has more animals and different species than other sanctuaries in Africa. As the only sanctuary in the region, it plays a crucial role in supporting conservation measures in the region. The sanctuary was started in 2002 by the Lwiro Primate Rehabilitation Centre’s two government partners due to the increasing number of primates in the region, confiscated from the illegal wildlife trades by authorities. It provides care and rehabilitation for orphaned primates, while working to ensure their survival in the wild. For those interested in the veterinary field, the Center has a capacity building in wildlife health management program. Visitors can visit the activities of the program. Located close to the Kahuzi-Biega National Park, a visit to the sanctuary can be easily combined with a Gorilla trek in a day trip from Bukavu. . . #lwiroprimates #kahuzibieganationalpark #covid_19 #chimpanzee #worldchimpanzeeday #visitcongo #restarttourism #followmeformore #instatravel https://www.instagram.com/p/CCnSdzHpNV2/?igshid=vyktxl2pnxci

Meet rescued chimpanzee Mussa, orphaned because of poaching, flying business Class with anti-poaching pilot with @virunganationalpark & conservationist @anthonycaere, to the safety and care of @LwiroPrimates. For more information on their amazing work of Lwiro Primates go to lwiroprimates.org * ・・・ “But this little guy should be with his mum. Chimps and other Apes are no pets and they belong in the wild. Mussa is in good hands together with other chimps and will be introduced back in the wild in the near future.” Contact @lwirocrpl or @i7saso for more info if you want to help! * Do support @virunganationalpark rangers and crew too. * #Wildography #Conservation #greatapes #wildlifevideos#virunga #virunganationalpark #savevirunga #lwiroprimates #lwirocrpl #babychimp #nopets #everylifematters #lastchanceforanimals #wildlifewarrior #livetotellthestory #mussa #stoppoaching #wildlifecrime https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSTFb4g_DS/?igshid=1e4v5irbfm5gu

“Hello everyone. My name is Tony. I am a baby eastern chimpanzee. Very recently, I was taken illegally from my family in a remote part of the forest. The Virunga Rangers heard about this and drove two days to come and save me. Then Virunga air wing gave me a lift into the safe hands of the caretakers at Lwiro Primates, where I am now safe and doing well with other orphaned chimpanzees like me.”

#Repost @anthonycaere @thedodo ・・・ Great teamwork of @lwirocrpl and Virunga National Park to save this baby out of the hands of poachers. We flew baby Mussa to his new home at Lwiro Primates. This looks cute but is actually a sad story. He should be with his mum.. But happy we could give him a new good home! Thanks to the whole team! This is conservation! #virunga #virunganationalpark #savevirunga #stoppoaching #babychimp #chimp #chimpansee #lwiroprimates #conservation #flying #wildlifewarriors #congo #drc #rdc #thedodo #livetotellthestory @i7saso 📬@RodEubanks
