Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Ngamba Island is a project of the Chimpanzees Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust, and a member of the Jane Goodall Institute Uganda. This project provides orphaned chimps with a secure home to live out their lives. Once chimps are orphaned, it is impossible to return them to their natural habitat and the Island is overcrowded already thanks to poachers who kill the parents and sell the baby chimps as pets or to zoos. As a matter of fact, the female chimps are kept on birth-control to keep the population down on Ngamba!
