Chimpanzee Protection
At Tchimpounga Sanctuary in the Republic of Congo and in areas across Tanzania, Uganda, DRC and Congo, JGI works to protect chimpanzees and other great apes against disease transmission, illegal hunting and poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
Research
The more we learn about our closest living relatives, the better we can protect them from extinction.
