Thursday, July 14, 2022

PORTLAND, Ore., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Four chimpanzees were successfully transferred from Guinea-Bissau to the Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue and Protection (LCRP), a chimpanzee sanctuary in Liberia. In a complex international operation, PASA and partners had been working on this transfer since first learning about the chimps in 2018. Through the global pandemic, and even a coup attempt, the team did not give up hope that these endangered animals could find a new life in a sanctuary. The four chimpanzees – Simão, Fifi, Tzé, and Tita – range in age from just over two to 12 years old.

Key Points: 
  • In a complex international operation, PASA and partners had been working on this transfer since first learning about the chimps in 2018.
  • Guinea-Bissau does not have a wildlife sanctuary, and there are no laws that prohibit private possession of chimps and other wildlife.
  • These conditions meant that the chimps would need to be transferred to a sanctuary in another country, adding complexity and cost to the operation.
  • These four chimps are a sign that there's hope, that we can do right by them and other chimps in need.
