New life for the young chimps !

Three-and-a-half-year-old orphan Carla is with adult female Manni, who was also orphaned by a poacher and rescued by IDA-Africa while she was still an infant. We recently integrated Carla and Nyanga, also three years old and seen in the background, with Manni, Cecile (another nurturing adult orphan who has grown up at Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center) and four older juvenile orphans in a new, forested enclosure complex. Thank you so much to all who contributed toward this enclosure last Fall! You’ve helped make a big difference in these chimpanzees’ lives. Stay tuned for more photos!
