See more » Welcome to the website of In Defense of Animals – Africa, a non-profit conservation organization I founded in 1999, to work in collaboration with the government of Cameroon to save the country’s endangered great apes. During the last eight years, when I haven’t been deep in the bush at our Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center, or working to make it socially unacceptable to eat chimpanzees and gorillas through our media outreach campaign, I have often provided volunteer veterinary care for primates at Yaounde Zoo and Mefou National Park, projects operated by my friends and collaborators at the Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund (CWAF). “Going Ape”, the Animal Planet series airing weekly in the United Kingdom from 21st November 2006 at 10pm features some of my work, and that of my colleagues, with baby gorilla Shufai, juvenile chimpanzee Nino, and other apes of CWAF, as well as Muna, Bikol and Tati at our own Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center. The series also focuses on efforts by our friends at Limbe Wildlife Center in Southwest Cameroon. I hope you enjoy meeting some of the wonderful individuals to whom those of us in Cameroon have devoted our lives. Episode 10, scheduled to air on 19th December, features the development of IDA-Africa’s unique “SOS Chimpanzees and Gorillas” radio campaign, the first radio campaign in Africa aimed at making it socially unacceptable to eat chimpanzees and gorillas. In 2007 we will expand our media campaign to television with a one minute “SOS Chimpanzees and Gorillas” Public Service Announcement. Please look over our website to learn more about IDA-Africa’s Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center and to meet some of the chimpanzees. Each individual at Sanaga-Yong Center is an oprhan, her or his mother was killed for the illegal bushmeat trade. Some were rescued at a very young age and others lingered in solitary confinement for decades. Their stories are touching and inspirational. Contributions and participation from people who care about protection and conservation of endangered great apes make all of our work possible. Please help us if you can by sponsoring one or more of our chimpanzee residents, making an invaluable donation, or purchasing a 2007 calendar or another giftshop item. From my heart and on behalf of the apes of Cameroon, I thank you. See less »
