Help chimpanzees with your donation

A world without chimpanzees? Unthinkable!

Yet they are disappearing at a rapid pace. In just 50 years, their numbers have dropped from 1 million to fewer than 150,000. Illegal logging, poaching, and the wildlife trade threaten their survival.

Your support helps in the places where it is needed most: providing care for rescued chimpanzees, emergency relief, and nature education in schools in remote areas where humans and animals still coexist.

No conservation without education!

The lesson programs and teachers are ready – with your help, we can reach many more children and secure the future of chimpanzees.

Help chimpanzees with your donation

A world without chimpanzees is unthinkable.
Yet the number of wild chimpanzees is declining at an alarming rate.

In just 50 years, the number of chimpanzees has fallen from 1 million to fewer than 150,000 animals. Illegal logging, animal trafficking, and poaching are their greatest threats. It is therefore of great importance to better protect chimpanzees and their habitat.

Will you help us with that?

Go Ape Foundation works with wonderful chimpanzee sanctuaries in West Africa and supports small-scale projects that we select ourselves, ranging from protection and education to conservation. For instance, we regularly donate toward the daily and medical care of (baby) chimpanzees and for ranger equipment. We also funded part of a major medical check-up for 100 chimpanzees in Sierra Leone, which Rowena also coordinated on-site upon request.
In 2024, we are primarily funding the rollout and support of education projects in schools in Cameroon and Sierra Leone. Through these, students learn everything about the nature surrounding them and why it is so important to preserve it, along with the animals, trees, and plants living within it.
