A sanctuary in Cameroon provides refuge for orphaned chimpanzees affected by poaching, deforestation, and habitat loss. The NGO Papaye International aims to reintegrate these young chimpanzees into semi-wild conditions on protected islands, safeguarding them from human threats.
In Cameroon , the NGO Papaye International runs a sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees on three islands in the Douala-Edea national park. The chimpanzees in the sanctuary are chimpanzees that have had a tragic past due to poaching, deforestation and groups that have been killed. We only take in orphaned chimpanzees, who are young and therefore need the helping hand of man after having had a gun pointed at them or their habitat destroyed.
The charity helps the orphans become re-accustomed to surviving in semi-wild conditions, but on islands away from their only predator — the humans with whom they share 98 percent of their DNA and a good degree of behaviour. Populations of common chimpanzees, which used to roam across 26 countries in equatorial Africa, have plummeted since the 1980s, and they are at risk of extinction in the wild
