SAVING CHIMPS: Tacugama Chimpanzee Conservation

Chimpanzee rescue and research at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary is only half the story of their amazing conservation work in Sierra Leone.
In the gaps of time between intense, resource-draining rescue efforts, sanctuaries like Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary are working intelligently and diligently on the root cause of chimp survival - by preventing hunting and deforestation through community-collaborative conservation programs. And it's working. Showcasing this work is the heart and soul of Apes Like Us.

So sad for these little guys but grateful to become better informed and hear tender messages. I think this is so needed. I have been watching Escape to Chimp Eden and it has been a wonderful and powerful information. I’m happy I found you guys!

[@traceyatdefiningelegance1250]

I absolutely love these videos and love what everyone is doing. It’s sad the position these beautiful animals are in but the hard work all these beautiful people are all doing to help them is beyond amazing.

What a total waste of Valuable resources in a time when millions of people are in desperate need of food, medical care, housing, mental health services,etc. Alot of These useless apes should've been euthanized a long time ago. A perfect example of screwed up priorities. At least my tax dollars aren't supporting this BS. SMH

[@pinam2299]

Wonderful to see. Conservation begins with education and helping communities living close to nature and wildlife to be part of the effort . I loved this very much and I love and adore chimps

[@Bonobo3D]

So good to see local communities learning and benefitting by re-establishing forest and wildlife. Thank you for this view of such valuable work.

[@WorldOfARandomVegan]

Love this!

[@carolynbrown7530]

Another way to help the animals who are in the wild is to replicate parts of the sanctuary in the wild like building platforms with nesting material and plant food and stuff for them

​@ApesLikeUs Chimps are pure evil! I can't believe all the time and valuable resources this poor country wastes on the evil, disgusting creatures? I love how they prey on Americans for money who live thousands of miles away unaware of the absolute horrors this disgusting species is capable of. I just read a recent story from a credible news source in Uganda talking about how these groups of wild chimps are now kidnapping children only to bring their mutilated bodies back to their families home in the middle of the night. I'm.sorry folks that's pure evil!! This is just one story of many regarding the violent and dangerous nature of these disgusting creatures. There are countless stories of people having their limbs torn off, faces eaten , etc. Dont let the baby pictures and sad music fool you, they may be cute as babies but are absolutely horrifying as adults. Invest your emotions and money elsewhere where there wont be any blood on your hands. Ask yourself why they only post videos and pictures of baby chimps never adults? I hope they go extinct in my lifetime. resources this poor country wastes on the evil, disgusting creatures?

Wonderful other areas can learn from your example even the gorilla areas and Indonesia Orangatans.

Amazing

[@lizimpey6338]

Hey guys, make sure you watch the adds all the way through so the channel gets the money from the advertisers or else they get nothing🤗

[@patrciakmiecik7568]

🇫🇷 pourquoi les reportages sur les primates sont toujours en anglais ? Ne pourriez vous pas les traduire en français ? Je suis une fan des primates je passe plusieurs heures par jour a regarder tout se que je trouve sur tous les primates , mais malheureusement très rarement en français .☹️

[@ApesLikeUs]

Salut! Nous sommes en train de traduire certaines de nos vidéos pour nos fans francophones. Cela peut prendre un peu de temps mais nous vous informerons quand les premiers seront prêts! :)

[@bulladknoff9058]

Wow

[@meelusine]

When the money stops pouring it for what ever reason what will happen ?! Those lands should be completely free and not belonging to humans, countries or governments, they should be declared the exclusive propriety of chimpanzees with real borders. We should help and teach the chimps how to guard and secure their borders from us humans because they are perfectly able to protect themselves from other species.

[@painful-Jay]

Wat?

[@PRHILL9696]

agree!

[@robertpreston2220]

100 percent!

[@arbur4746]

i want to see baby gorilla play baby chimp is that too much to ask

[@winterweib]

They do not play together. The Chimps fear the Gorillas. Chimps are aggressive, but they know the peaceful Gorillas are way more mighty. There are only a few points where the chimp land is touching Gorilla land, and both do not want to have anything to do with each other.

[@rickarra1833]

I love gorilla's. Gorilla's are so much nicer than chimp's, but I love them both. Orangutans too

[@carolynbrown7530]

Sorry I just hate to see all the orphans it’s not right
