About this

The Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, located near Freetown in Sierra Leone, is a rehabilitation center established in 1995 to care for chimpanzees rescued from illegal trade, bushmeat markets, and other forms of exploitation. The facility provides medical treatment, long-term housing, and opportunities for social integration within protected forest enclosures, while also conducting public education programs on wildlife conservation and anti-poaching efforts. Visitors can observe the chimpanzees in naturalistic settings and learn about the challenges facing primate populations in West Africa.
