This was National Animal Week 2023 in Sierra Leone

This was National Animal Week!
In November 2023 we organized for the second time a week full of energy, awareness and activities dedicated to our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, the chimpanzees. By hosting this event we aimed to raise awareness for the critical state of the chimpanzee and to promote the socio-economic benefits the country could have from announcing it as Sierra Leone's National Animal. During the week more than 250.000 people reunited on social media and events. More than 15 sponsors participated in the different activities and we had more than 60 national influencers talking about our national animal.
