Still building...

Our construction team is working overtime, the overhangs are still going up on the Chimpanzee Habitat! And, the foundations are being laid for the Baboon Habitat!

Chimpanzee Habitat for Conservation and Education continues...

The overhang for the forest fence is going up fast now! The fence is looking more complete every day!

Chimpanzee Habitat for Conservation and Education continues!

The fence construction is continuing, with the mesh up on over half the fence today! We are moving forward, which is a relief, but still have some way to go. If you would like to contribute to the fence appeal, 100% of the funds donated through the blog go directly to the fence construction! Watch this space for more updates!

Fence update

The building of the new chimpanzee enclosure is continuing. Now all the fence posts are up, and most of the foundation is finished. Yesterday they started soldering the bits that will hold the overhang up onto the fence posts. They are doing a fantastic job with the fence and it looks amazing!

Still some holes to fill inn...

But most of the foundation is finished!

Fence our forest!

The fence construction is going on: 53 posts already up!

Goma’s group and the other chimps at the CRPL can’t wait to go to the new forested enclosure. There they will be able to learn chimpanzee natural skills like jumping from branch to branch or building nest in high trees to rest.

In the current facilities at the CRPL we try to provide them with natural elements like fresh branches so the chimps can play and start developing natural behaviours.

Please, help the CRPL chimps to fence their forest. Each donation makes a big difference for them! Thank you!

Here are some photos of the progress of the fence from today, 23 posts of a total of 165 posts are now up. Some of the photos are taken from the top of the walkway and the research center, hence the nice aerial view!
