Champions and Chimpanzees
The excited and anxious screeching grew louder and louder as we approached the island. It was known as Marshall or Chimp island by the locals
With haste, the chimpanzees headed towards the boat. Their caregivers cautioned us that we were not familiar faces – so we should wait in the boat while they got out to feed the chimps and to give them water
It would have been a bucket list sighting had these chimps spent their entire lives in the wild, but that was not their history. Their previous home was a Biomedical research lab – owned by the New York Blood Center. The research began in the mid 1970’s. Their test subjects stolen from the wild in Liberia. For, approximately thirty years their fate was being test subjects for various diseases mostly hepatitis. About 400 chimps died during that time
The exploitation and cruelty caught the attention of animal activists questioning how they could subject such intelligent sentient beings to such cruelty and exploitation. In 2016 their horror came to an end. The decision was to send them to the six islands spread across a river estuary. Because chimpanzees cannot swim, it seemed like their best solution. They were divided into groups of about 8/10 chimps on each island. These chimpanzees would never be able to go back to the wild because they had diseases inflicted on them for the research
The island that we stopped at was one of 3 islands for the day. Their caregivers went by boat every day to feed them. At the time their food and care, was financed by The New York Blood Center. A cost of approximately 20 000 dollars a month. Three of their caregivers took us to the islands by boat packed with food and water for the chimps. Each of them very caring and devoted caregivers. Each of them with their own sad history having witnessed the worst of humanity during a brutal civil war
It was a bitter, sweet experience watching the chimps being fed by the caregivers. A couple of chimps had babies on their backs. The cutest of babies. Those babies were never meant to have been born. The females were given contraceptives, I am not sure whether it is was improper birth control, but some babies were born on the islands. I remember thinking at least they would never be subjected to being test subjects for humans, spending their lives in cages. Little did I know that the chimpanzees had another challenging time ahead of them from the very same organization that exploited them
A few months after we arrived back in South Africa, we heard that the New York Blood Center (NYBC) had terminated their care for the chimps. Their abandonment meant that the chimps were left to die of starvation. There was no fresh, drinkable water or food on the island. They put the responsibility on the Liberian government. A country that was economically crippled and in the middle of an Ebola pandemic crisis that had escalated. Their caregivers scrambled with what little funds they had to buy fresh food from the locals. They got hold of some expats to help him and then the Humane Society of United States were contacted and they got involved to help the chimps.
Animal activists around the world heard about the desertion of the chimpanzees by the NYBC and took action. An NGO that profited millions of Dollars piloted by wealthy directors living in opulence stood firm on their decision to renege their responsibility. Blinded by their greed they didn’t see the defiance of their decision brewing. Animal activists relentlessly put major pressure on the NYBC to reinstate funding, as well as the NYBC’s sponsors. It took two years for VICTORY.
The visit to the island that day is a true reflection of our world and humans. One that I hope will encourage some humans to make better, kinder decisions in life.
Chimpanzees are not indigenous to South Africa, but like so many animals they are critically endangered. With deforestation, disease and the bushmeat trade chimpanzees could be gone from the wild in as little as ten years. We all need to care for our planet. We need to support the selfless champions on the ground rescuing and rehabilitating animals.
During our almost 2 year stay in Liberia, we rescued an orphaned baby chimpanzee. She was named Missy. Missy was a victim of the bushmeat trade, her family killed, the babies are sold. We rescued her from the person who bought her, our goal was to send her to a sanctuary to be with her kind.
You can read about Missy’s story in my book – “Her name is Missy” https://www.amazon.com/Her-Nam....e-Missy-remarkable-e
We will be doing a Youtube video of Missy and a short version of her rescue soon.

*For 30 years, 66 chimpanzees in Liberia were used for medical experiments by the New York Blood Center (NYBC) but were later abandoned without food.*

See the unique story of our continued care of more than 60 chimpanzees in Liberia, Africa. These animals were previously used in invasive research by a U.S.-based organization, but now live out their retirement amongst islands off the country’s coast. There, you’ll meet the caretaker that risked his life to provide support during the country's long-standing civil war, and see the very emotional connection he and his staff have to these very intelligent creatures.

Thanks to the incredible support we’ve received, we have been able to not only create a more stable situation for these chimpanzees, but have made several major improvements in their quality of life. You can help with their continued, lifetime care by donating here: http://hsus.link/z95ix3

Rediscover Liberia is highlighting Liberia to the rest of the world. In this clip we highlight and encourage Liberia’s efforts towards Wildlife Protection, Preservation, and Rehabilitation.

Wild animals are being poached, sold or kept as a pet on a massive scale here in Liberia. But a new law was passed in 2016 to protect Liberia's wildlife. The animals that are being confiscated by authorities are brought to the sanctuary where they are given a second chance!

Wonderful wild animals filmed during a camera-trap biomonitoring study of the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation in the newly created Grebo-Krahn National Park, Liberia. Filmed were for example the critically endangered western chimpanzee, the endangered Diana monkey, the endangered King colobus, and the endangered pygmy hippopotamus.

That's the most common way how dogs are transported to the Vet Clinic in Gambia. Mercedes 190, open the boot, dog inside, close the boot.
But I must admit that I never saw 7 puppies and a mum in one small space like that. I really hope they didn't get stuck in the traffic...
