CHIMP WEEK

After 16 Years in a Wooden Box, Smiling Chimp Races Through the Grass

For the first time in 16 years, Bazou plows through a sea of grass with 36 chimpanzees trailing behind. He�s running fast because the freedom of movement is an astonishing sensation. Today is Bazou�s day to stand at the center of his new universe in an open field in Cameroon. He shouts at the sky as sunlight bathes his face and the warm, moist earth cushions his feet. There�s not a dry eye around as caregivers at the Limbe Wildlife Centre witness this critical moment in his recovery. Indeed Bazou is now safe and the �good life� has brought on a priceless smile.

Welcome to Chimp Week, a time when we make impossible rescues come true. It’s not everyday that someone goes looking for a lone chimpanzee, locked away in a backyard near a logging camp in the African rainforest. But that day came for Bazou and for many, many more thanks to the amazing team on the ground at Limbe and Lwiro rescue centers.

This week we’re raising funds to bring food, veterinary medicine, bedding, round-the-clock nannies and more to rescued chimpanzees. And most of all, we’re working toward rescuing those who still wait for their day in the sun.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
