Rambo joining the nursery group

Finally the day for Rambo Rungu to join the others came last week! Lugushwa, Grace and Aketi was the chosen ones to meet him first, while the others were locked in their dormitory. It was quite a scary and intense experience for him, but he did well! The next day Uvira and Aketi was already grooming him, and he has now integrated well with the others! Well done Rambo Rungu, one step closer to becoming a real chimpanzee again!

Thank you, AWARE Germany!

A big thank you to AWARE Germany and their donors for raising 2000 euros for the CRPL! A special thanks to the Hamburg- based company "Markensturm.com", and their business manager Timo Kusian, for their generous donation of 500 euro! The money will go towards running cost of the CRPL, food for chimps and monkey and salaries for Congolese employees.

AWARE Germany is one of the CRPLs longest standing supporters and we are very grateful for their dedication to helping the primates in Lwiro!

Chimp enclosure update!

The work on the new chimpanzee enclosure is coming close to finishing! We now estimate we will start moving chimps into the enclosure around 1. of May! It's looking good and all the parts needed to finish it is now in Lwiro! Here are some photos of the finishing touches :-)
