Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

The Limbe Wildlife Centre near Douala, Cameroon, is a highly respected sanctuary for chimpanzees, gorillas and other primates, with an extensive local outreach and education programme. Its dedicated team currently care for over 140 animals that have been confiscated from the pet trade, many of which are ‘bushmeat orphans’ – babies whose families have been killed for food.

Born Free has supported the project since 2004 with a vehicle and funds for a new enclosure, but caring for this many hungry primates is an expensive business and as more orphans arrive more space is needed.
