< We do not talk, we act. >
We are involved in concrete action on the ground. We live in a camp in the forest, with no electricity, no access to drinking water or internet. We are as close as possible to the animals' natural environment in order to rehabilitate and protect them.

Rehabilitating chimpanzees and monkeys victims of illegal wildlife trade
We recover chimpanzees and small monkeys confiscated by the authorities as a result of illegal trafficking and poaching, in order to rehabilitate them for life in the wild. The ultimate aim is to be able to release certain individuals into protected and suitable areas.
Protecting and defending the forest
We protect over 6,000 hectares of Ivorian forest with the help of eco-guards from the Special Brigade for Surveillance and Intervention of the Ministry of Water and Forests. They patrol daily to safeguard its biodiversity, which is as precious as it is fragile.
Fighting Against Trafficking and Poaching
Primates are illegally sold as pets (often to be featured in social media videos) or consumed as bushmeat. We raise awareness among local communities and the general public to combat this devastating practice.
