AnimalsTchimpounga An Extraordinary Home
In 1900, an estimated 1 to 2 million chimpanzees lived in the wild. Today, there are less than 350,000. Protecting chimpanzees is at the heart of JGI’s work. It’s a big task that the Institute tackles from several angles, including research, traditional habitat protection and community-centered conservation initiatives, as well as caring for rescued chimpanzees. In the Republic of Congo, more than 200 chimpanzees have called the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center home since it opened in 1992; today, more than 130 chimpanzees live there, each with distinct personalities, habits, and social skills.
Over the years, the Tchimpounga sanctuary, which covers an area of 70 hectares, has taken in an increasing number of chimps as well as mandrills and other rescued wildlife. Thanks to the support of JGI chapters around the world, including JGI Canada, the sanctuary successfully expanded in 2013 to include three islands along the Kouilou River. Combined, these islands provide 100 times more forest than the original sanctuary site. Chimpanzees can now roam freely in a much more natural environment while still allowing for frequent health checks and care from Tchimpounga staff.
In 2018, the last eligible chimpanzees from enclosures at the main Tchimpounga sanctuary site were moved onto the three large sanctuary islands. These 93 chimpanzees have immersed themselves in their new home and enjoy the freedom to explore the forested canopy.

Veterinarian Services The health and wellbeing of the chimpanzees is our primary focus. The sanctuary’s skilled veterinary team ensure that each chimp receives the short and long-term care they need to live a healthy life.
Mandrill Protection
Mandrills are one of the most colourful mammals in the world. But their bright colours make them an easy target for poachers. The mandrill release program at Tchimpounga focuses on successfully rescuing and rehabilitating these vulnerable primates.
EcoGuards
At more than 50,000 hectares, Tchimpounga Nature Reserve’s natural wealth makes it vulnerable to illegal logging, mining, oil exploration, and poaching. To safeguard it from these threats, the JGI Congo team has hired EcoGuards from local communities to monitor and patrol the area. With support from JGI Canada, new mapping technology has been introduced so that EcoGuards can prioritize patrol areas and identify hotspots of illegal activity. The EcoGuards are also accompanied by specially trained dogs able to sniff out wildlife crime.

At 25, she was pregnant with her fourth child and enrolled in prenatal classes at her local clinic, where JGI Canada was instrumental in training healthcare workers and providing medical supplies and equipment.
When Valerie contracted malaria, she knew from participating in the prenatal classes that she had to seek immediate medical assistance. The clinic was able to treat Valerie right away and made sure that her pregnancy — at that stage in its third trimester — would not be at risk.
Today, Daniel, Valerie’s youngest child, is healthy and up-to-date with all of his vaccinations. Her older children attend school while Valerie farms a small plot of land and works as a teacher in her local village. Thanks to the postnatal consultations and training opportunities she has received, Valerie is now keeping her family healthy and planning for the future.

The growing number of young people involved in environmental activism gives Hannah hope for the future; she knows that change may not be easy but sees that today’s young leaders aren’t afraid to tell it how it is and advocate for the necessary next steps.
“Joining Roots & Shoots helped me to feel empowered by setting me up with a network of like-minded individuals and great resources.”

Burrowing Seeds of Change
The Garden Club at Burrows Hall Junior Public School came together to raise awareness for students’ rights to healthy food by organising a public plant-in where they planted six new garden boxes with food. Older students designed and arranged pollinator-friendly gardens to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, turning their learning about sustainable food into real-world experiences.
“Many students tasted fresh vegetables for the first time. Families at the school were so enthusiastic about participating and ‘adopting’ the gardens Learning from the Past, over the summer that we had to have a lottery for the garden boxes.” Forging the Future Mira Lyonblum, Activity partner with Burrows Hall Junior Public School, Scarborough, ON Upon learning that First Nations children don’t always receive the same level of healthcare as other children in Winnipeg, grade 2 students at Meadows West Public School decided to take action. Together, the class attended the local Bear to Witness March to raise awareness about Jordan’s Principle, which states that First Nations children must have full access to healthcare services and support systems.
On the day of the rally, the students walked around the Manitoba legislative building, proudly waving their homemade signs and chanting, “Be kind and caring, don’t be selfish, give First Nations what they need.” By transforming their classroom learning into action, the young students felt empowered to advocate for what they believe.
“When students leave my classroom I want them to know just how powerful and capable they are; I want them to recognize that this is their world and that if they want things to change for the better they have the ability to make that change. Roots & Shoots is the catalyst for that learning and will always be a part of my teaching.”

Accompanied by JGI staff, these trips allow donors the chance to visit places normally not accessible to the general public. Trip destinations vary each year and have included the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo; Gombe Stream Research Station in Tanzania where Dr. Goodall began her ground-breaking study of wild chimpanzees; and community conservation projects in Uganda.
JGI Canada trips are designed to maximize time spent in the field in order to meet the JGI teams, engage with local communities, and witness chimpanzees in the wild as well as the chimps rescued from illegal trafficking.
