Education !

Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center Education Coordinator, Alfred Bongadu, visits 4th and 5th graders of Wall Elementary as part of an innovative education initiative IDA-Africa has launched to incorporate our new children’s book in the curriculum of Central Cameroon schools. Our goal is to instill in the next generation of forest stewards an appreciation of chimpanzees as kindred beings who deserve respect and protection. Through expanded education programs we aim to increase awareness about chimpanzees' intelligence and emotional capacity, their similarity to humans, their endangered status and the laws against exploiting them. We all can make a difference - adults and children!
