Help us protect chimpanzees

In 1960, there was an estimated one million chimpanzees in Africa. Today, hardly 172,000 to 300,000 individuals are said to be left. About 40% of this remaining population lives in DRC.

Unfortunately, nearly no action is taken here to protect them. Chimpanzees are still being poached, eaten and sold. This species will soon become extinct if awareness is not advocated to stop the trade.

Shall we let our closest relatives disappear? Help us stop the illegal wildlife trade, or learn more about JACK, and our work conserving chimpanzees in the DRC on our website.

Today, J.A.C.K. takes care of:

* 39 chimpanzees

* 5 bush babies

At J.A.C.K. we have :

7 staff

3 local volunteers

0 international volunteer as we haven’t started any voluteer programme yet

1 mission to provide a sanctuary for Chimpanzees seized by DRC Authorites
