Ape Action Africa

Ape Action Africa works on the frontline of primate protection. Our goals are to address the immediate threats faced by gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys in Cameroon, and to work with local communities to develop long-term solutions that protect them well into the future – ensuring their survival. We operate a thriving education programme for local school children, who are encouraged to come and visit us to see Cameroon's wildlife in its natural environment – and to gain a better understanding of the importance of great ape protection. We are committed to identifying and establishing areas that can be set aside as safe and protected habitat for rescued gorillas and chimpanzees. It is our hope that one day the great apes in our care will be released into the wild where they belong.
