Caring for Orphaned Primates and Safeguarding Wildlife in the Heart of the Congo
Our Mission
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release. Imagine a Congo where primates roam freely, unthreatened by the perils of poaching and wildlife trafficking. Picture a sanctuary where those harmed by these trades are nurtured back to health before being returned to their rightful place in nature. At the heart of this vision lies the Lwiro Primate Fund, dedicated to empowering the remarkable efforts of the Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Together, we furnish the vital support necessary for LPRC to responsibly reintroduce chimpanzees and monkeys to their natural habitats, ensuring their safety and well-being.
How you can help
Ninety percent of the world's remaining eastern chimpanzees live in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). But habitat loss, poaching, and illegal wildlife trafficking have them facing extinction. Working in the most vital region on earth for the survival of this iconic species, LPRC is ideally situated to ensure the survival of our closest animal cousins. But they need your help to do so.
