WHAT’S NEW ON THE GROUND? • • •
In January, Chimfunshi had their first chimpanzee rescue since 2005! Chimfunshi rescued a further 6 chimpanzees in March. We had so much rain our long drop toilets nearly overflowed – ew!
•
We spent nearly 120 hours observing the chimps – feeding, playing, grooming and just being chimps.
•
11 hours were spent patrolling the enclosure boundaries to make sure they were safe and secure.
•
Nearly 140 hours were spent scrubbing and sweeping enclosures to help keep them clean for the chimps.
•
Just under 70 volunteer hours were spent preparing fruit and vegetables and rolling nshima balls for the chimps’ lunch and dinner.
•
We were privileged to have enjoyed 68 hours with the special bushwalk chimps, exploring their enclosure together.
