CHIMPANZEE CONSERVATION PROJECT

Building a Better Future for Endangered Chimpanzee.

Great apes and gibbons deserve to live undisturbed and on their own terms across their natural ranges, from the tropical belt of Rwenzori mountains. But human activities are rapidly putting pressure on their very survival. We are aiming to working to address threats to chimps, apes, alongside sanctuaries and rescue and rehabilitation centers ensuring high-quality care for chimps in captivity. RWECO-TRUST is the only well established and evidenced organization that has put an effort in conserving the chimps along mountain Rwenzori. We are working hard with stakeholders especially UWA to ensure that these few remaining chimps are protected to maximum. We are planting fruit trees in Kasanga-Mubalya protection areas to provide these few chimps with edible food for survival. We are carrying out mass sensitization about the conservation of the chimpanzee. We are working with Cross cultural Foundation of Uganda to conserve these endangered apes/chimps.
