1998 – 2018 Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary 20th Anniversary

In 1998, Dr. Jane Goodall and a small group of pioneering leaders rescued 13 chimpanzees and started the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary.

Over the last two decades, we have grown to support 49 chimps orphaned by the illegal wildlife trade and are recognized as one of the leading primate sanctuaries in Africa.

Please join us in celebrating this journey of a million miles as we work to ensure the legacy of Ngamba for the next twenty years.

ANNOUNCING THE NGAMBA LEGACY FUND

In honor of this legacy we are launching a worldwide campaign to raise $1,000,000USD to support the long-term sustainability of the sanctuary. This is our most significant campaign in the sanctuary’s history but with your help we know we can reach our goal.

DID YOU KNOW?

The 49 chimps range in age from 2 to 35 years and the average lifespan of a chimp in captivity can be as high as 60 years? That means we must sustain Ngamba for a minimum of 58 years!

It costs an average of $270,000USD every year to maintain Ngamba. This includes food and veterinary care for the chimps, operations and facility maintenance.

Threats to chimps in the wild are increasing and we remain committed to receiving any animals orphaned by human-wildlife conflict or the illegal wildlife trade.
